Cootamundra Herald
Police have charged a former Christian Brother in relation to alleged historical indecent assaults upon a number of children in the Sydney’s Northern Beaches.
Initial reports from NSW Police Media had incorrectly described the person charged as a former Catholic priest.
In May, investigators from Northern Beaches Local Area Command received information about alleged indecent assault matters involving five boys and commenced an investigation.
Officers will allege that the offences occurred between 1973 and 1976, at schools in Manly and Goulburn.
About 9am today (Monday 10 November 2014), officers attended a home in Cootamundra and arrested a 75-year-old man.
