A former Catholic Brother has been charged with additional historical indecent assault offences allegedly committed in the Newcastle region in the early 1970s.
In 2012, detectives from Strike Force Georgiana commenced investigations into alleged child indecent assaults committed by a former Catholic Brother.
As a result of those investigations, an 84-year-old man was charged in March 2017.
Further inquiries have led detectives to arrest the same man, now aged 88, at Silverwater prison on Monday.
He was charged with three counts of indecent assault on a male, allegedly against a boy in the early 1970s.
He has been remanded in custody to appear at Newcastle Local Court on Thursday.
