FIVE new complainants have accused a former Salesian college principal of assaulting them, a court has heard.
Frank Klep, 69, was charged with multiple counts of indecent assault allegedly committed between 1974 and 1984 earlier this year.
At a Melbourne Magistrates Court committal hearing today the court heard five new alleged victims had made allegations of indecent assault by Mr Klep to police.
It is alleged the former Rupertswood College sexually assaulted students during the 1970s and 1980s at the school and another school in Chadstone.
The Salesians have previously denied allegations they moved Mr Klep to Samoa after investigations into sex assault allegations began.
