A former Catholic Brother has become the fourth person charged in relation to historical sexual offences against two children at a western Sydney school.

Strike Force Avia was established in October 2011 to investigate alleged assaults upon a number of children on school grounds at a Catholic college at Blacktown and a Catholic primary school at Lalor Park in the 1980s.

Three men – two teachers and a former Catholic Brother – have previously been arrested and charged by Strike Force Avia detectives.

Sex Crimes Squad detectives arrested a fourth man, a former Catholic Brother, at Penrith Railway Station about 11.30am (AEDT) on Wednesday and took him to Penrith Police Station.
