A man has been charged over the alleged sexual assault of a young boy in Lakemba.
The State Crime Command’s Child Abuse and Sex Crimes Squad last month began an investigation following reports a boy had been indecently assaulted by a man known to him when he was at a home at Lakemba.
Following extensive investigations, detectives from the squad arrested a 29-year-old man at Campsie Police Station about 9am on Thursday.
He was charged with the indecent assault of a person under 16 years.
Police will allege in court the man indecently assaulted the boy — then aged six — between December 2013 and January 2014.
The man was refused bail to appear at Burwood Local Court on Thursday.
