	Retired Priest Arrested over Child Sex Claims ABC News September 27, 2010 http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/09/27/3023164.htm?section=justin A retired Catholic priest from the New South Wales Hunter Valley has been charged with 14 child sex offences dating back to the 1980s. Police from Strikeforce Georgiana, established more than two years ago to investigate child sex abuse within the Church, today arrested the 68-year-old man from Mayfield. He has been charged with 14 offences including sexual intercourse with a child aged under 16, indecent assault and acts of indecency. Police say the charges relate to the alleged assault of two boys at a former Catholic convent in the Newcastle suburb of Windale in the 1980s. The 68-year-old is the eighth person to be charged by Strikeforce Georgiana - six of them have been members of the clergy. The man has been granted conditional bail and will face court next month.
