Child Abuse Squad detectives have charged a Hunter man over an alleged historical child sexual assault dating back more than a decade.
Following extensive inquiries since earlier this year, a 51-year-old man has been charged with two counts of aggravated indecent assault and three counts of sexual assault of a victim under the age of 16.
It's alleged the man committed the assaults on a 10-year-old girl in Newcastle in November 2004.
He's been refused bail to appear in Newcastle Local Court today.
