A young priest was granted bail this afternoon after being arraigned
before a magistrate in Gozo to face charges of child molestation.
The priest, believed to be in his thirties, covered his face as he was taken to court.
The sitting was held held behind closed doors following a request by lawyer Carmelo Galea. Reporters were ordered out of the courtroom. The court also banned publication of the priest's name.
