A FORMER Scout master and a former Catholic school teacher have been charged with pedophile offences by South Australian Police.
The charges are the latest by a SA pedophile task force, which has now charged more more than 25 people, including church officials and a Salvation Army minister.
The latest charges were laid against a former Catholic schoolteacher in Canberra today, the officer in charge of the task force, Detective Superintendent Grant Stevens, said.
The 76-year-old former teacher at Adelaide's Blackfriars College was charged with 18 counts of indecent assault and 18 counts of gross indecency.
The offences were allegedly committed in Adelaide between 1955 and 1959 on seven boys aged 10-12 at the time.
