A retired Catholic brother who left Australia to live in Rome has been charged with indecently assaulting Sydney schoolboys during the 1970s.

His arrest comes after a police investigation into allegations that four 12-year-old boys were assaulted by a teacher at schools in Strathfield and Lidcombe, or while on camp at Dural.

The alleged assaults occurred between 1972 and 1981.

The 75-year-old was arrested at Strathfield on Tuesday and appeared in court charged with four counts of indecent assault on a male.

He was released on bail and will reappear on November 25.
