Victim worried about McGrath being bailed

NEW ZEALAND

One of Bernard McGrath’s victims says he’s worried the former Catholic brother has been granted bail.

McGrath has previously served time for offending in Christchurch and is now charged with over 250 new counts of sexual abuse against children and young adults in New South Wales.

He was today granted bail to live with his sister.

The 65-year-old flew back to New Zealand late last week.

He now faces extradition to Australia but has been given a fortnight to consider his stance on the charges.

Alan Nixon says while McGrath hasn’t yet been convicted, it’s hard for victims to know that he’s back.
