Perth police have charged an 83-year-old former priest and scout leader with the sexual assault of three boys between 1954 and 1979.
WA Police spokeswoman Susan Usher said the alleged assaults against two ten-year-old boys and one 16-year-old occurred when the man was an Anglican Priest in Ravensthorpe and a scout leader in Wembley.
The state taskforce investigating historical child sexual abuse complaints has charged the Wembley Downs man with two counts of indecent treatment of a child under 14 and one count of committing indecent practices between males in a private place.
The man is due to re-appear at Perth Magistrates Court on August 27.
