A WA priest and two teachers who worked at the Wandering Mission during the 1960s have been charged with historical child sex offences.
Charges against the three men, now aged 78, 82 and 83, came after an investigation was launched stemming from the ongoing Royal Commission into Institutional Child Sexual Offences.
Police will allege the priest – who now lives in Melbourne – sexually abused four girls aged between eight and 15 between 1965 and 1969.
He has been charged with rape, six counts of indecent dealing of a girl under 13, and sex counts of unlawful or indecent assault of a female.
One of the teachers, 82, who lives in Shelley, is alleged to have sexually abused a 10-year-old girl between 1960 and 1963.
