NOTORIOUS paedophile priest Michael Charles Glennon, who died in prison on New Year’s Day, was facing even more heinous allegations of child sex crimes at the time of his death.
The former Catholic Church priest – one of Victoria’s worst child sex offenders – posthumously had 10 new charges against him struck out at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court yesterday.
Lawyer Rebekah Haylock appeared on behalf of Glennon as Magistrate Duncan Reynolds brought proceedings against the dead priest to a halt.
The new charges related to indecent assault and buggery incidents in Moonee Ponds and Reservoir in the 1970s.
