A former Catholic priest has been charged with historical indecent assaults on a number of children in Sydney's Northern Beaches.

The 75-year-old was arrested at his Cootamundra home on Monday after police seized a number of documents and computers from the premises.

In May, investigators information about alleged a series of alleged indecent assaults involving five boys between 1973 and 1976, at schools in Manly and Goulburn.

The man was charged with nine counts of indecent assault of a male and one count of act of indecency.

He was given conditional bail to appear at Cootamundra Local Court on December 5.

Police are encouraging any victim of any indecent or sexual assault, no matter how long ago, to come forward.
