A man has been charged with historic child sex offences dating back to the 1960s.
The 74-year-old former youth worker was today charged with nine offences, including buggery, indecent assault of a male, and soliciting a male to commit an indecent act.
Police said the charges related to six alleged victims.
The man was arrested at a Basin View home on the New South Wales South Coast early this morning, before being taken to Nowra Police Station for further questioning.
Police from Strike Force Eckersley have been investigating complaints about the alleged sexual assault of children at a Western Sydney boys' home that were referred by the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.
Twenty years of alleged offences
The offences allegedly took place between 1965 and 1985 at the Daruk Training School at Berkshire Park near Windsor, while the man was working there as a youth officer.
Strike Force Eckersley has been investigating complaints related to the alleged abuse at the Daruk school since 2016.
The South Coast man was granted strict conditional bail and will appear in Nowra Local Court on Wednesday.
The arrest is one of three relating to the same boys' home since the strike force was established.
Police are continuing their inquiries into the matter.
