Monk on abuse charge can be returned to Scotland

A former Catholic monk accused of abusing boys at a Highlands boarding school is eligible for extradition, according to a magistrate in Australia.
The decision on whether to send Denis Alexander back to Scotland for trial now rests with Australia’s attorney-general. The former priest denies claims relating to Fort Augustus Abbey Roman Catholic boarding school. He was returned to Australia by the Catholic Church in 1979 after abuse allegations first surfaced.
