A retired priest has been charged with historical sex offences after a two-year investigation into alleged sex assaults on a boy in Sydney’s west.

The 73-year-old was charged with three counts of aggravated indecency after he allegedly sexually assaulted the boy between 1984 and 1991 while working at a church in St Mary’s.

Detectives from the Manning/Great Lakes region began investigating after receiving information from a local man in 2012.
