Hunter priest charged with historical child sex offences

A Hunter Valley priest has been charged with indecently assaulting a boy in the early 1970's.

Police were alerted about the religious brother in March last year and investigators from Strike Force Georgiana were called in.

Yesterday a 66-year-old man was charged with three offences of alleged offences of indecent assault against a boy.

Officers allege the offences happened at Maitland between 1971 and 1972.

The man is on conditional bail and is due in court next month.
