WA chef charged over child sex abuse

A Perth man has been accused of sexually abusing three children and an 18-year-old over 42 years.

Police say he indecently assaulted a seven-year-old boy and three girls, aged between six and 18, between 1972 and 2013.

Three complainants knew him through family relationships and one knew him through his employment as a chef.

The 65-year-old man has been involved with at least eight restaurants in Mandurah, Belmont, East Perth, Kalamunda and Northbridge.
