NSW Police have charged a retired priest with historical indecent assault offences which allegedly occurred in the Hunter region in the 1960s and 1970s.

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

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

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