Man extradited over NSW child abuse claims

A man has been extradited from Queensland to NSW over allegations of historical child abuse involving a young boy on the NSW Central Coast.

The 29-year-old was arrested in Rockhampton and appeared in Rockhampton Magistrates Court on Wednesday after NSW detectives investigated claims the victim, then aged seven, was sexually assaulted by a man known to him in 2009.

He was refused bail in Sydney's Central Local Court on Thursday after being charged with two counts of aggravated sexual assault.

He's due to reappear in the same court on Tuesday.
