A Canberra Catholic priest accused of molesting a child in the 1990s is set to face fresh child abuse charges, a court has heard.
Father Edward Evans, 84, is expected to be charged with a further four offences, including sexual intercourse with a child, when he appears before the ACT Magistrates Court next month.
He was arrested and charged in May last year with three acts of indecency between 1994 and 1997.
He has already pleaded not guilty to those allegations.
The original charges against the German-speaking chaplain relate to his alleged abuse of the girl at his Braddon home three times, twice when she was 11 or 12, and a third time when she was 13.
