A former West Australian Anglican priest has pleaded not guilty to indecently assaulting a teenage boy 30 years ago.

Raymond Sydney Cheek, 83, is facing four charges including committing indecent practices between males, and indecent dealings with a child under 14.

Police allege the abuse took place while he was a priest in a town in WA’s South West in the 1980s.

It is alleged the offences were committed against a boy between January and October 1985.

Mr Cheek had his bail renewed when he appeared in Perth Magistrates Court on Thursday morning.
