A Catholic priest has been charged over the alleged sexual assault of a young boy on the NSW mid north coast in the late 1970s.
Police say the victim, now 46, came forward in March 2014, a year after the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse was established.
It’s alleged the man was sexually abused by two Catholic priests and another man between 1979 and 1980.
The alleged assaults happened when the victim was aged between nine and 12.
Detectives on Thursday arrested one of the accused priests in Newcastle and charged him with three counts of indecent assault on a male.
