    Former WA Jehovah Witness charged with alleged historic child abuse offences

    Brendan Foster

    A former member of the Jehovah Witness congregation will appear in court next week after he was charged with sexually assaulting four boys.

    The charges stem from ongoing investigations linked to the Royal Commission into institutional child sexual offences.

    A former Jehovah Witness has been charged with child abuse offences.

    Police allege between 1993 to 2013, the 44-year-old man sexually assaulted four boys aged between 14 and 16 at the time of the offences.

    The alleged abuse is said to have occurred in Chidlow and Mundaring and during the period in question the man was an active member of the Mundaring Jehovah Witness congregation.

    The 44-year-old man has been charged with a string on sexual offences and is due to appear in the Midland Magistrates court on May 23.

    If you are or have been a victim of child sexual abuse, or if you have information about someone being abused, please contact police on 131 444.

    I grew up in that circuit! At the same time.....

    It is comforting to see the Australian Royal Commission is yielding results.

    Just for the record, the criminal is not named Brendan Foster. That is the JOURNALISTS name who has written this article.

    (The OP sort of looks like that is the criminals name)
