A CATHOLIC priest has been charged with historic child sex abuse offences alleged to have occurred in the mid-1980s.
Child Abuse Squad detectives charged the 60-year-old in relation to alleged sexual acts that occurred between 1983 and 1986 in the Peel and North West Metropolitan Districts.
It will be alleged the accused man – who was and still is a Catholic priest – met the victim through church-related activities in the Peel District.
Police will further allege the priest abused his position of authority over the victim, who was aged between 15 and 17 years old at the time, to perform indecent and sexual acts.
