Update: 11:22AM A FORMER Fiji resident and pastor has been charged with sexual and indecent assault and will appear in an Australian court next month.
The 62-year-old accused, believed to have worked as a bank officer here before he migrated, is scheduled to appear before Liverpool Local Court in New South Wales on March 9.
The resident of Green Valley, which is a suburb about 39 kilometres west of Sydneys central business district, is charged with aggravated sexual assault and aggravated indecent assault following investigations into two historical incidents.
According to the official website of the NSW Police Force, a young woman formally filed complaints at the Green Valley Police Station about assaults alleged to have occurred on two separate occasions in late 2002 and late 2003.
The man was a pastor at a local church attended by the girl, who was aged 13 and 14 at the time of the alleged incidents.
