Detectives from the Sexual Crimes Squad have charged a man as part of an investigation into a series of alleged sexual offences over two decades ago.
A 55-year-old man, who was in custody in NSW on unrelated matters, was transferred to Victoria earlier this week under a custodial order.
He will be charged today with 10 offences including sexual penetration of a child under 16 years of age (x5) and indecent acts with a child under 16 years of age (x5).
The man will face Melbourne Magistrates' Court this morning.
The charges relate to a number of alleged offences in the Wodonga area between July 2001 and December 2002.
Victoria Police encourages all victims of sexual assault and child abuse, and anyone who has knowledge of such a crime, to make a report.
Victoria Police is committed to investigating and bringing to justice those people who prey on children no matter how many years have passed.
Anyone with information that could assist police is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
