Police have charged a retired priest in relation to the alleged historical sexual assault of a child on the state’s north coast.
In June 2012 investigators from Strike Force Georgiana received information about alleged child sex assault matters and commenced inquiries.
Investigators spoke with an 81-year-old retired priest about the alleged offences against a then 9-year-old boy at a premise in Nelson Bay and a beach at Newcastle.
Police will allege the offences occurred between 1982 and 1984.
Detectives have been following several lines of inquiry and today progressed their investigation.
