Charges have been laid over alleged sexual assaults on an elderly man in his Roselands home.
A police spokesman said the man, 85, was asleep in his Violet Street home on an unknown date when a man, 58, allegedly entered his home and sexually assaulted him.
A further assault had occurred in the elderly man’s home on Friday, October 6.
“It is understood the two men had been known to each other for a short time,” the spokesman said.
The incidents were reported to police, who arrested a man, 58, at Punchbowl on Sunday.
He was charged with two counts each of aggravated sexual assault – break and enter with intent, attempted sexual assault and indecent assault.
Bail was refused, and he is due to appear in Burwood Local Court on Monday.
Police are urging anyone who may have further information on these incidents or any additional incidents to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
