From Perth, Australia, “A 65-year-old Narrogin man has been charged with sexually abusing three young girls at a Perth children’s home in the 1990s.

The charges are a result of an investigation by WA Police’s Taskforce Tonalite, a subsection of the child abuse squad established in 2010.

It will be alleged the 65-year-old committed the offences at Manguri Residential Cottages in Queens Park between 1991 and 1996.

The three girls were allegedly aged between four and 10.

Manguri, formerly known as Sister Kate’s Children’s Home, was an accommodation centre for indigenous children and an agency of the Uniting Church.

Sister Kate’s opened in 1934 to care for indigenous children who had been taken from their parents in accordance with government policy.

It was renamed Manguri in 1988 and ultimately closed in 2002.

Manguri was incorporated as an independent agency in 1995.

The 65-year-old man has been charged with eight counts of sexual penetration of a child under 13 years, four counts of indecent dealing with a child under 13 years and two counts of procured, encouraged or incited a child under 13 years to do an indecent act.

He is due to appear in the Perth Magistrates Court today.”
