Wednesday, 06 November 2013
Police have charged a retired Catholic brother over the alleged historical indecent assaults of school children in Sydney’s inner west and north west.
Between 1972 and 1981, four boys – all aged 12 – were allegedly indecently assaulted by a teacher at schools in Strathfield and Lidcombe, or while on camp at Dural.
In June 2013, police from Kuring-Gai Local Area Command were alerted to the alleged incidents and commenced an investigation.
Following inquiries, a 75-year-old man was arrested at Strathfield just before 9.30am yesterday (Tuesday 5 November 2013).
The man, a retired Catholic brother who now lives in Rome, was taken to Campsie Police Station where he was charged with four counts of indecent assault on a male.
