A NOTORIOUS paedophile priest jailed for horrific crimes against children has spent his first day of freedom back in court on new charges.
The former priest, who cannot be named, was released from prison yesterday after serving a seven-year stint.
It was his second time behind bars for sex crimes on kids.
The man was bailed and ordered to appear at the County Court after being committed to stand trial on 15 fresh charges.
The County Court heard a new trial would take three months to complete, and would not be able to start before 2016.
It comes after 11 new complainants came forward to police while the man, in his 60s, was completing his sentence.
