Qld education worker on child sex charges

A man working for Queensland's education department has been charged with child sex offences at two Sydney schools in the late 1980s.

A Queensland education department staffer is due to face 10 child sex charges in court.

The man, 52, has been on bail since March after being charged with sexually and indecently assaulting two 12-year-old boys in Sydney when he was a Catholic brother in the 1980s.

NSW police allege the assaults occurred at schools in Hunters Hill in 1987 and Campbelltown in 1989.

The man was reportedly a child safety official at Education Queensland at the time of his arrest.

Education Queensland said he notified the department of the charges last month.

"The matters raised are now the subject of court proceedings in NSW and the department will fully co-operate with NSW police as directed," the department said in a statement.

He has been charged with four counts indecent assault involving a child under the age of 16 and six counts of assault involving sexual intercourse with a child under the age of 16.

The man is due to face Tweed Heads Local Court on Monday.
