A 62-year-old man has been charged with sexual offences against a child allegedly occurring in 1988.
It will be alleged the man indecently assaulted the then 13-year-old girl from June to September on multiple occasions.
Detectives from Maroochydore Child Protection Unit arrested the Mountain Creek man yesterday.
He has since been charged with nine counts of rape and seven counts of indecent treatment of girls under 14.
The man has been denied police bail and will appear in Maroochydore Magistrates Court on Monday, June 7.
Detectives are encouraging any other potential victims who may have experienced similar behaviour between 1987 and 1990 across the Sunshine Coast area, to come forward.
