Two men have been arrested by special task force detectives today as part of an ongoing investigation into child sex abuse.

A 76-year-old Greenvale man has been charged with buggery, indecent assault and gross indecency in relation to incidents between 1966 and 1974.

A 74-year-old Boronia man has been released pending summons.
