Man, 74, charged over indecent assault of his teenage employee at takeaway shop
A 74-year-old man has been charged over the alleged, indecent assault of a young female employee at a take-away shop on the north coast of NSW.
The man was arrested by detectives at a shop, north of Newcastle just before 10 am on Tuesday.
Detectives from the Child Abuse and Sex Crimes Squad started investigating earlier this week after receiving reports that a teenage girl had been indecently assaulted while at work.
The man was arrested by police and charged with four counts of indecent assault of a person under 16 years.
Police will allege in court that the girl was indecently assaulted on a number of occasions while working alone with her employer at the take-away store.
The man was formally refused bail in court on Tuesday and will reappear on November 6, 2018.
Investigations are ongoing.
