A CATHOLIC priest has been charged with eight counts of indecently assaulting two boys in the 1960s in a police investigation that has already charged six other priests with child sexual offences in the Hunter Valley region of NSW.

The 83-year-old Glenbrook man was served with court attendance notices through his legal representative, based in Penrith, about noon yesterday.

Police will allege he indecently assaulted two boys younger than 16 on eight occasions while he was teaching at a school in Hamilton in the “early to mid 1960s”.

He is due to appear in Newcastle Local Court on February 23.
