	Up-date: Man to Face Penrith Local Court Today on 55 Historical Sex Offences New South Wales Police Force July 28, 2010 http://www.police.nsw.gov.au/news/latest_releases?sq_content_src=%2BdXJsPWh0dHBzJTNBJTJGJTJGd3d3LmViaXoucG9saWNlLm5zdy5nb3YuYXUlMkZtZWRpYSUyRjEyMzkzLmh0bWwmYWxsPTE%3D NB: Note change of court to Penrith plus one additional charge. A man is due to appear in Penrith Local Court today charged with 55 offences. Police from North Shore Local Area Command arrested the 69-year-old man at a home at Bilpin, in Sydney’s north west, early yesterday. He was taken to Windsor Police Station where he was charged with 55 historical offences including charges of sexual assault, acts of indecency and indecent assaults. He was refused bail overnight and will appear in Penrith Local Court later today. The man was formerly a volunteer bus driver involved in a church youth group who, police will allege, sexually molested and assaulted young children during the 70s, 80s and 90s. Several incidents of abuse allegedly occurred at the man’s then home address at Lane Cove and various other locations, including within the grounds of the Metropolitan Baptist Church - which until 1987 was located at Chatswood. The church has since relocated. Police say there is no evidence at this stage to suggest church authorities were aware of the alleged abuse.
