A former Catholic Brother has been charged with additional historical indecent assault offences allegedly committed in the Newcastle region.
In 2012, Strike Force Georgiana detectives commenced investigations into alleged child indecent assaults committed by a former Catholic Brother.
As part of inquiries, an 84-year-old man was charged in March 2017.
Following further inquiries, strike force detectives arrested the man, now aged 88, at a correctional facility at Silverwater yesterday (Monday 17 August 2020).
He was charged with three counts of indecent assault on a male.
The charges relate to alleged assaults against a boy in the early 1970s.
The man was remanded in custody to appear at Newcastle Local Court on Thursday.
