A 77-year-old man has been charged over alleged child abuse 30 years ago at a Christian Brothers school in the Mid West.

Between 1970 and 1971, the seven-year-old victim regularly attended a social event at the Christian Brothers Agricultural School near Tardun, police spokeswoman Susan Usher said.

Police allege that, during these events, the boy was indecently assaulted by a Brother at the school.

A 77-year-old Broome man has been charged with two counts of indecently dealing with a boy under 14 years and he is scheduled to appear in Broome Magistrates Court on Monday July 28.
