Two former Salvation Army officers have been charged with a total of 28 counts of sexually assaulting boys in NSW orphanages.
The men, aged 77 and 74, were arrested on Wednesday over allegations of horrific sexual abuse at boys’ homes in Bexley and Goulburn in the 1960s and 1970s.
The allegations were first raised at the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sex Abuse, which took place in early 2014.
A 74-year-old man was arrested at a home in Waterloo, in Sydney’s inner-city, at 7.30am on Wednesday.
He was charged with 23 counts of indecent assault on a male, two counts of buggery (anal intercourse), and one count of procure indecent act with male.
Police will allege the man sexually assaulted boys at orphanages in Bexley and Goulburn between 1971 and 1974.
