Peter Nicholas Lennox, 69, of Cootamundra has been ordered to stand trial on September 23 on four counts of indecent assault on a male and one of indecent act on a male.

They relate to offences allegedly committed at Saint Paul's Catholic College, Manly on three boys from 1974 to 1976.

The Director of Public Prosecutions applied for a re-trial after a jury was unable to reach a verdict on the charges last November. Judge Helen Syme granted this on March 1 at the Downing Centre District Court.

The trial is expected to last 10 days.

Meantime, Lennox will face sentence on March 29 on two counts of indecent assault on a male and one of sexual indecent assault on a male under 16 under his authority.

They involved two victims, one of them a 15-year-old who was a student at Saint Patrick's College, Goulburn, where Lennox was a teacher and dormitory master at the time.

He had pleaded not guilty to all charges but last November, a jury found him guilty on these three charges.

The former brother, who his solicitor Greg Walsh said suffered multiple health problems, was granted bail until his sentencing.
