Two Catholic clergy extradited from Australia to face sex charges were remanded on bail to a pre-depositions conference early next year when they appeared in Christchurch District Court today.
Judge David Saunders granted the remand without plea and allowed a change of address next week as part oftheir bail terms.
Their address on bail remains suppressed, though it is known they will remain in New Zealand.
A second suppression order forbidding any further publication of images of the two men remains in place.
The court papers today listed the charges that Brother Rodger Moloney, 71, and Father Raymond Garchow, 59, will face.
Moloney is charged with four counts of anal intercourse with a person aged under 16, 11 charges of doing an indecent act on a boy aged 12 to 16 years, and two charges of inducing a boy aged 12 to 16 to do an indecent act.
Garchow is charged with three counts of doing an indecent act on a boy aged 12 to 16, and five of inducing a boy of that age to do an indecent act.
The pair will not have to appear for the pre-depositions conference on January 18 as long as counsel is present. That session may set a date for a depositions hearing.
