A man will face court today in Sydney charged with alleged historical child sexual abuse offences after he was extradited from Queensland.
He was charged with six counts of indecent assault on a male after he was escorted by investigators on a flight to the New South Wales capital yesterday.
In August 2022, police began an investigation into alleged historical sexual abuse offences at a school in Sydney's west.
Following extensive inquiries, investigators arrested a 78-year-old man in Manunda, in Cairns, Far North Queensland, on Wednesday.
A court later approved his extradition to NSW.
Police will allege that the man, who was employed as a teacher, sexually abused a 13-year-old boy on several occasions at a school in Auburn between 1980 and 1981.
The man was refused bail and is scheduled to appear at Downing Centre Local Court today.
Investigations are continuing.
Anyone with information that can help police is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
