A FORMER Catholic priest is facing 25 charges relating to historic child-sex offences after he was arrested in Armidale on Thursday morning.
The state’s Sex Crimes Squad formed Strike Force Glenroe in July to investigate allegations of child sexual abuse.
About 6.30am on Thursday detectives attached to Strike Force Glenroe and New England Local Area Command arrested a 59-year-old man.
He was taken to Armidale Police Station and later charged with a string of offences.
The alleged acts were committed against three girls in the 1970s and 1980s.
