Two elderly men have been charged over historic child sex offences against girls at Wandering mission, south-east of Perth.
Both men worked at the mission during the 1960s, one as a Catholic priest and the other as a teacher.
It is alleged between 1965 and 1969 the priest sexually abused four girls who were aged between eight and 15 at the time of the first offence.
The man, who is now 78-years-old, has been charged with six counts of indecent dealing of a girl under 13-years-of-age, six counts of unlawful and indecent assault on a female and one count of rape.
He was arrested in Melbourne and is due to appear before the Perth Magistrates Court via video link on June 22.
Police also allege between 1960 and 1963 the teacher sexually abused a girl who was 10-years-old at the time of the first offence.
The man from Shelley, who is now 82-years-old, has been charged with three counts of unlawful and indecent assault on a female and four counts of indecent dealings with a child under 13.
He is due to appear before the Perth Magistrates Court on June 29.
If you are or have been a victim of child sexual abuse, or if you have information about someone being abused, please contact police on 131 444.
