NSW teacher accused of 12yo assault

A 49-year-old teacher is accused of indecently assaulting his Year 6 student at her western Sydney school last year.

A Year 6 teacher accused of indecently assaulting a 12-year-old girl numerous times last year at her Sydney school has appeared in court.

The 49-year-old man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, allegedly assaulted the girl and incited her to commit acts of indecency at the western Sydney school in 2015.

In court documents, police allege the man was the child's Year 6 teacher when at least some of the offences occurred.

He is also accused of procuring the child for sex.

Police charged the man with a string of offences after computers and storage devices were seized from his southwest Sydney home on Thursday.

His bail was continued at Liverpool Local Court on Tuesday and the matter was adjourned to Penrith on July 8.
