Police investigating an alleged assault with an act of indecency on a sixteen-year-old boy yesterday have charged a man over the incident.

About 3pm (Sunday 13 July 2015), police will allege a 16-year-old boy was waiting at Goulburn Railway Station when he was approached by a man.

The man allegedly engaged in conversation with the boy and invited him to consume alcohol with him.

A short time later, whilst under the influence of alcohol, the boy was allegedly assaulted with an act of indecency by the man.

A witness to the incident contacted police who arrived a short time later and spoke with the boy.

Officers from The Hume Local Area Command located the man in a nearby hotel and arrested the 36-year-old man.

He was taken to Goulburn Police Station and charged with the offence of assault with act of indecency.

The man was refused bail to appear before Goulburn Local Court today (Monday 13 July 2015).
