A man has been charged over the alleged sexual assault of a young girl during a break-in at Shoalhaven earlier this year, NSW Police say.
Detectives from the State Crime Command’s Child Abuse Squad commenced an investigation following reports a young girl had been sexually assaulted during a break-in at a home on Friday 18 March 2016.
Following inquiries, a 22-year-old man was arrested at Wellington Police Station about 9.30am yesterday.
He was charged with aggravated break and enter, committing a serious indictable offence; and sexual intercourse with a child under 10 years.
He was refused bail to appear at Parkes Local Court on Monday 1 August 2016.
The Child Abuse Squad is comprised of detectives who are specially trained to investigate crimes against children, including sexual assault, physical abuse and serious cases of neglect.
Anyone with concerns about suspected child abuse or exploitation should call Crime Stopers.
