Police have arrested a 50-year-old man in Newcastle and charged him with sexually touching a high school student in NSW’s Hunter region.
Following reports of a 14-year-old girl being sexually touched by a male teacher during class, Child Abuse and Sex Crimes Squad commenced an investigation in June.
