Taskforce Sano detectives arrested a catholic priest today in relation to alleged historic child sexual abuse matters committed between 1976 and 1985 in Sunbury and Ferntree Gully.
Victoria Police have been negotiating with the Catholic Church since July 2012 to have the man returned from Rome.
The return of this man to Victoria is considered a break through in co-operation between the Victoria Police and the Catholic Church.
The 67-year-old man, along with his legal representative, presented himself to police at Crime Command Headquarters at 412 St Kilda Road, Melbourne.
The Ascot Vale man has been charged with 10 offences, including buggery, indecent assault and common law assault.
