NSW priest charged over historical abuse

A CATHOLIC priest has been charged with sexually and indecently assaulting a child in the NSW Hunter region almost 30 years ago.

The priest, 76, will face court this month over the allegations, which police say took place between 1985 and 1986.

He was charged with sexual assault, six counts of committing an act of indecency and attempted intercourse with a male under 10 years of age.

The man will appear in Maitland Local Court on June 30.
