A 60 year-old priest working in the Peel District, south of Perth, has been charged with child sex offences.

It is alleged the Catholic priest abused a boy aged under 17 between 1983 and 1986.

Police say it will be alleged the priest was aged about 32 when he engaged in indecent sexual acts with the boy.

He has been charged with four counts of unlawful and indecent assault, attempted carnal knowledge and carnal knowledge against the order of nature.

The names of the charges are based on legislation in place at the time of the alleged offences.

He is due to appear in the Rockingham Magistrate's Court on October 24.
