A Catholic priest who is a prime suspect in a series of alleged rape cases is now facing more charges in relation to rape and indecent assault.

Nemani Rovouvou also known as Nemisio Kolikoli today appeared before Tavua Magistrate Samuela Qica charged with five new counts of rape and indecent assault.

Kolikoli is now facing six charges in total including two counts of rape and four counts of indecent assault.

The alleged incidents occurred between 2004 to 2012.

Magistrate Qica has transferred the matter to the Lautoka High Court where a bail application is also expected to be made.
