The 23-year-old man was arrested at his home in Westleigh, in Sydney’s northwest, on Wednesday and charged with 40 sexually-based child assault offences.

It followed investigations by the Child Abuse Squad into the alleged grooming and assault of two girls, aged 13 and 15, between March and July this year.
