CONTENT WARNING: This article references alleged sexual assaults.
A man who allegedly assaulted his sister several times more than 30 years ago is facing court.
An ACT Policing spokesperson said they received a report in May about alleged sexual assaults committed by a boy against his sister in the 1980s.
The man, now aged 56, was arrested on Saturday (19 October) following a police investigation.
He has been charged with six counts of indecent assault on a female (pre-1985).
Due to his age when the alleged assaults occurred, the man is scheduled to appear in the ACT Children’s Court today (21 October).
