A former Catholic brother from Lake Macquarie has appeared in a Christchurch court, facing more than 250 child sex charges in Australia and a warrant for his extradition.
Bernard Kevin McGrath was arrested last week after returning to New Zealand from Sri Lanka.
The 65-year-old was jailed for five years in 2006 for sexually abusing boys at a Christchurch school and received parole in 2008.
He was given strict bail today and returns to court in a fortnight.
