A former Roman Catholic priest has been extradited from Northern California to his native Ireland to face charges that he sexually assaulted six boys from 1973 to 1981, authorities said today.
Patrick McCabe, 75, was handed over to officers from Ireland's national police service at San Francisco International Airport on Sunday night, said Michael Dyke, supervising deputy with the local U.S. Marshals Service.

McCabe has denied the charges of sexual assault to Irish police.
