Police have charged a retired Catholic religious Brother over the alleged historical indecent assaults of school children in Sydney.
A media release from New South Wales police (on 6 November 2013) says that, between 1972 and 1981, four boys (all aged 12) were allegedly indecently assaulted by a teacher at schools in Strathfield and Lidcombe (in Sydney’s inner-west), or while on camp at Dural (in Sydney’s north-west).
In June 2013, police from Kuring-Gai Local Area Command were alerted to the alleged incidents and commenced an investigation.
