Man charged over historical child abuse

BY JESSICA ROUSE

A man has been arrested and charged for allegedly assaulting three teenage boys in Dora Creek in the 1990s.

Police allege a 34-year old man sexually assaulted the boys aged 14, 15 and 17 at the time in his home.

An investigation got underway after police attached to the Lake Macquarie unit received information about the alleged assaults.

At about 8am last Sunday (30 April 2017), police attended Morisset Showground and arrested the man taking him to Toronto Police Station.

He appeared in court this week, and was remanded in custody to appear in Newcastle Local Court in late June.
