Following his arrest for historic child sex assault that authorities claim occurred in a juvenile center more than fifteen years ago, an old man is being treated in a hospital.
Following allegations that a youngster had been sexually and indecently attacked by a 70-year-old man in a juvenile center more than fifteen years prior, the Eastern Beaches Police Area Command in NSW launched an inquiry into the man in February 2020.
Detectives also received three additional reports of alleged abuse throughout the investigation.
Following a thorough investigation, investigators were able to place the man under arrest at a youth center in Surry Hills on Tuesday about 7am.
In order to receive treatment for a pre-existing condition, he was then transported to the Surry Hills Police Station and then, while being guarded by police, transferred to the hospital.
At the man’s residence, which is situated in Surry Hills, detectives carried out a search warrant and confiscated materials they believed to be important to the case.
The 70-year-old was charged with 22 offenses, including aggravated indecent assault, assault with an indecent act, sexual intercourse with a person under 16, and committing an act of indecency with or toward a person. He was also accused of committing an act of indecency with or toward a person.
The old guy was working as a cleaner at a youth organization in Daceyville between 1991 and 2006, according to police, during which time he allegedly sexually assaulted four youths.
The boys ranged in age from seven to eleven at the alleged offense.
On Wednesday, the guy will appear in person before the Downing Center Local Court from his hospital bed.
