A 68 year old Australian citizen will be produced in a special court sitting on Monday for allegedly indecently assaulting a 4 year old girl in Labasa.

Police spokesperson Suliano Tevita confirmed that the man has been charged with one count of indecent assault and will be produced in the Labasa court.

The man who was visiting the country allegedly committed the offence earlier this week and was arrested at the Waiqele Airport when he was trying to flee the country.

The victim and the suspect are neighbors.

Meanwhile, police have also charged a 38 year old man for allegedly raping a 79 year old woman.

It is alleged that the 79 year old woman was at her home when one of her neighbors sent the man to look after her when the alleged incident took place.

He will be produced in court at a later date.
