A former police chaplain remains behind bars after being refused bail on child sex charges.

John Patrick Casey was working at a primary school in Sawtell until his arrest in July this year.

The Catholic priest was charged with nine offences relating to the abuse of two brothers in the Lismore Diocese in 1985.

The diocese takes in the area between Tweed Heads and Camden haven, south of Port Macquarie.

The accused priest had also worked as a police chaplain attached to the Mid North Coast Local Area Command.

His case was mentioned in the Lismore Local Court yesterday, where bail was again refused.

The matter has been adjourned until next month, when a brief of evidence will be served.
