Eamon Heary faces five charges of unlawfully indecently dealing with child under 14.

A Perth policeman accused of sexually assaulting boys while he was a teacher in the mid-1980s will stand trial to defend the allegations.

Eamon Heary, 56, who was a teacher at a Catholic college in the Perth CBD at the time of the alleged offences, has been charged with five counts of unlawfully indecently dealing with a child under 14.

He pleaded not guilty to all five charges today in the Perth Magistrate's Court.

Mr Heary, a sergeant in the Central Metropolitan District, has been stood down from operational duties.

He will appear in court again in July.
