A man charged with raping a seven-year-old girl at a Christian mission in West Australia’s South West in the 1970s has faced Bunbury Magistrates Court.
Philip Howard Street, 74, was charged last month by a specialist police taskforce.
It is alleged Street, who is from Albany, sexually assaulted the young girl multiple times while he was employed at the Roelands Christian Mission in 1974 and 1975.
The man made a brief appearance in court charged with two counts of rape and four counts of indecent treatment of a child under 14 years of age.
He was not required to enter a plea and was granted bail to reappear in court on May 23.
