The matter was reported in 2011, and officers attached to Shoalhaven Local Area Command commenced investigations.

About 4.10pm yesterday (Monday 9 March 2015), a 58-year-old man was arrested and charged at Harbourside Police Station with one count of indecent assault.

He was granted conditional bail, to appear at Port Kembla Local Court on Wednesday, March 25.
