A 65-year-old Narrogin man has been charged with sexually abusing three young girls at a Perth children’s home in the 1990s.

The charges are a result of an investigation by WA Police’s Taskforce Tonalite, a subsection of the child abuse squad established in 2010.

It will be alleged the 65-year-old committed the offences at Manguri Residential Cottages in Queens Park between 1991 and 1996.

The three girls were allegedly aged between four and 10.

Manguri, formerly known as Sister Kate’s Children’s Home, was an accommodation centre for indigenous children and an agency of the Uniting Church.
