The commander of the Bathurst-based Chifley Command, Superintendent Michael Goodwin, says the investigation is ongoing.

"If there's anyone out there that is currently concerned they may be the subject of this particular investigation they are urged to come forward in the strictest confidence and contact CrimeStoppers," he said.

"These allegations happened some 20-odd years ago, there is absolutely no suggestion whatsoever that the college involved is/has been looking to anything in the current day.

"The college involved has been cooperating with the police completely with this inquiry."

Meanwhile the lawyer for the former priest accused of sexually abusing students says he has not seen any new claims against his client.

Lawyer Greg Walsh says he learned about the new claims through the media.

"I don't know anything about eight alleged other victims, I've not been served with any witness statements so I really can't comment about it," he said.

"I would be looking forward to being extended the basic courtesy of being served with some witness statements."
