New South Wales police have charged a former Catholic priest with indecent assault offences against children dating back to the 1970s.
Police arrested the 70-year-old man at his home at Wentworth Falls in the Blue Mountains at about 3:00pm (AEST) yesterday.
He was targeted as part of Strike Force Nemesis, a team investigating child sex offences allegedly committed in the state’s south coast and Sydney’s western suburbs.
The former priest has been charged with five counts of indecent assault on a male.
Inspector Maureen Deegan says the victims were all children.
