A second retired member of the Catholic church has been arrested over alleged historic sexual abuse at a Manawatu school.

Earlier this year, Andrew Cody, 67, from Upper Hutt was jailed for two and a half years for indecently assaulting three students at Hato Paora Maori Boys Catholic School at Feilding 20 years ago.

Police say the latest man to be charged is due to appear in the Lower Hutt District Court tomorrow.

They say the offences allegedly occurred in the 1970s and 80s when the accused was a teacher at the school.
