Australian police say they have arrested a Catholic priest and charged him with 30 counts of sexual assault related to abuse allegations dating back three decades.

The 65-year-old is accused of assaulting 18 boys aged between 11 and 17 during the 1970s and 1980s while he served as the priest at a church in Newcastle, 100 miles north of Sydney.

Police have not released the man's identity. They received a complaint about him in April and began investigating.
