A 45-year-old church member has been charged with sexually abusing four
young girls he knew through a West Australian country church.
The man has been charged with sex offences against the four girls, then
aged between nine and 15 years, between 1976 and 1989, police said today.
"Detectives will allege the man sexually abused the girls while he and
his victims were associated with a country church,'' police said in a
statement.
Investigating officers are conducting inquiries to determine if there
are other victims.
Officers said the man was charged with ten counts of indecently dealing
with a child under 13 years, three counts of indecently dealing with a
child aged between 13 and 16 years, and seven counts of sexually
penetrating a child under 13 years.
He is due to appear in Merredin Magistrate's Court on November 23.
