A 59-year-old man is facing court charged with sexually abusing a teenage girl between 2020 and 2025.

In February, police received a report of the alleged abuse and began an investigation.

On February 27 police searched the man’s home and on Saturday morning the man was arrested following a second search of his home.

He has been charged with two counts of committing an act of indecency against a young person under special care.
