An unnamed Tasmanian could help NSW police investigate allegations in a case of child sex offences.

Yesterday, a former Catholic Brother was arrested in relation to alleged assaults upon a number of children on school grounds at a Catholic college at Blacktown and a Catholic primary school at Lalor Park in the 1980s.

NSW police say the Tasmanian person could be integral to the case.

The 58-year-old Lithgow man was arrested in Penrith and charged with 20 offences: two counts of buggery, 13 counts of indecent assault on male, and five counts of indecent act with male, relating to offences against two boys aged between nine and 11.

Anyone with information about sexual abuse should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or use the Crime Stoppers website. Information is handled in confidence.
