The incidents are alleged to have occurred between January 1980 and May 1981 when the former brother worked at a Catholic College at Blacktown.

He is the fourth man to be charged by detectives investigating alleged assaults on a number a children at the college, as well as a Catholic primary school at Lalor Park in the 1980's.

Three men, two teachers and a former Catholic Brother, have previously been arrested and charged by Strike Force Avia detectives.

The investigation is ongoing and Strike Force Avia detectives continue to appeal for anyone with information to assist them to come forward.
