A member of the Jehovah Witness congregation will appear in court next month after he was charged with historic child sex offences.
Child Abuse squad detectives charged the 72-year-old over alleged offences against a girl between 1979 and 1982.
It will be alleged the man sexually assaulted the girl, who was 11 at the time of the first offence, in the towns of Narrogin, Windy Harbour and Katanning.
“During this time, the man was an active member of the Katanning Jehovah Witness congregation,” a police spokesperson said.
The man has been charged with a string of child sex offences including indecent dealing, unlawful carnal knowledge of girls under 16 and deprivation of liberty.
