PM - Father Klep refused bail
Melbourne, Australia -
MARK COLVIN: A Catholic priest, who was deported from Samoa last night, is in jail in Victoria this evening.
Father Frank Klep was refused bail when he appeared in a Melbourne magistrate's court today.
Victorian police met Father Klep when he arrived at Melbourne airport this morning.
He's been wanted by the authorities for more than five years.
It was 1998 when a warrant was issued for his arrest on five counts of indecent assault, relating to his time at a boarding school run by the Salesian Catholic order in Melbourne.
The Salesian order today said it had not known there was a warrant out for his arrest - but Victorian police tonight said that they did tell the order that Klep was a wanted man.
But while the legal focus today fell on Father Klep, another Salesian priest remains under investigation in Samoa.
