Man charged over alleged sexual assaults of young neighbour
A man will face court today charged over the alleged historical sexual and indecent assault of his young neighbour in Sydney’s west.
A 65-year-old man was arrested at a Parramatta home at about 6pm yesterday, following reports a 13-year-old girl had been sexually assaulted by a man known to her.
He was taken to Parramatta Police Station, where he was charged with two counts of sexual intercourse with a person under the age of 10 years, and two counts of indecent assault of a person under 16 years of age.
Police will allege in court that the man, who was a family friend and neighbour, sexually and indecently assaulted the girl on a number of occasions between 2011 and 2016.
The man was refused bail and is due to appear in Parramatta Local Court today.
