A 58-year-old man has been arrested following an investigation into his alleged sexual abuse of two children who were family members between 1998 and 2004.

Earlier this year, police received a report about this matter via an online report for historical sexual assault and an investigation was commenced.

The man was arrested by ACT Policing at his residence in Isabella Plains about 12.15pm yesterday, Thursday 19 October.

He is expected to face court this morning charged with one count of incest, and two counts of acts of indecency with a young person.

The investigation into this matter is continuing and additional charges may be laid.

Anyone with information relating to this matter is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or via the Crime Stoppers website, please quote reference number 7462129. Information can be provided anonymously.

There is no statute of limitations for sexual offences in the ACT. It doesn’t matter how much time may have passed and it is never too late to report.

If you or someone you know has been affected by sexual violence, you can report to police by attending a police station or calling ACT Policing Communications on 131 444. You can also submit an online report for historical sexual assault for incidents that occurred more than six months ago.

The ACT Policing website has a dedicated section for victims of sexual assault, with information and a range of advice and details of support options.
