Catholic friar accused of 'forcing a Year 4 student to fondle him by threatening that she would go to hell'

A Catholic friar, charged with more than a dozen child sex offences, allegedly told an eight-year-old girl he molested that she and her parents would go to hell unless she performed sex acts with him.
Fr Anthony Francis 'Damian' Colbourne, who was named in the child abuse royal commission, allegedly molested the girl in the mid 1970s when she was a Year 4 student at a Brisbane school, reported the Courier Mail.
