A man will appear in court today charged over the alleged sexual assault of a young girl in the state’s Hunter region two years ago.
In June this year, detectives from the Child Abuse and Sex Crimes Squad commenced an investigation following reports a young girl had been sexually abused by a man known to her.
Following inquiries, investigators arrested a 41-year-old man at Campbelltown Police Station just after 5pm yesterday (Tuesday 25 August 2020).
He was charged with one count of sexual intercourse with a child under age of 10.
Police will allege in court that the man sexually assaulted the girl – then aged nine – while staying in the Newcastle area in 2018.
The man was refused bail to appear at Campbelltown Local Court today (Wednesday 26 August 2020).
The Child Abuse and Sex Crimes Squad is comprised of detectives who are specially trained to investigate matters against children and adults, including sexual assault, serious physical abuse, and extreme cases of neglect.
