Man charged over alleged sexual assault of young boy – SCC Child Abuse Squad
A man has been charged over the alleged sexual assault of a young boy in Sydney’s west last year.
Earlier this month, detectives from the State Crime Command’s Child Abuse Squad commenced an investigation following reports a young boy had been sexually assaulted.
Following extensive inquiries, a 64-year-old man was arrested at a home unit at Westmead about 9.45am yesterday (Monday 27 June 2016).
The man was taken to Parramatta Police Station and charged with sexual intercourse with a child under 10.
Police will allege the young boy was sexually assaulted while his parents slept when staying at the man’s home in December 2015.
