The Bishop of the Australian Defence Force has been charged with a sex offence dating back to 1969. Bishop Max Davis is believed to be the most senior clergyman in the Catholic Church, and the first bishop, to be charged with a child sex offence. The alleged incident took place when Bishop Davis was teaching at St Benedict's College in New Norcia, north-east of Perth.

He has stood aside from his Church positions while the matter is dealt with by the courts. More » |
