Another Christian Brother has appeared in a New South Wales court charged over historical sexual offences against children in the Goulburn area.

The 63-year-old man, who was arrested on Wednesday at Ryde in Sydney, is the fourth Christian Brother arrested in relation to allegations of abuse in Goulburn between 1978 and 1989.

Until recently, the teacher had been working at a Catholic school college in Chatswood.

He was stood down last week.

It is alleged he abused a teenage boy from 1984 to 1987, while working at a Catholic school in the Goulburn area in the state’s Southern Tablelands.

The first offence allegedly occurred when the boy was just 13 years old.
