A RETIRED priest has been charged with historical indecent assault offences which allegedly occurred in Hunter during the 1960s and 1970s.

On November 21 and December 3 this year, two former students of a local Marist college made allegations of indecent assault by a now-retired teacher who is now retired.

Strike Force Georgiana investigators travelled this month to Cook, in the ACT, and served future court attendance notices on an 80-year-old man at his home.

He has been charged with three counts of indecent assault allegedly committed against two victims while at school in the 1960s and 1970s.
