MAN AND WOMAN CHARGED WITH SEXUALLY ASSAULTING A CHILD

A man and woman will face court today, accused of kidnapping and sexually assaulting a child on the Central Coast last year.

In October, police opened an investigation into reports a 14-year-old girl was drugged, detained and sexually assaulted by a man and a woman she knew through a friend.

On May 22, officers searched a property at Killarney Vale, before later arresting a 46-year-old man and a 33-year-old woman at Tumbi Umbi.

The man was charged with more than a dozen offences, while the woman faces more than eight.

It’s alleged the pair drugged the teenager, and abused her at multiple locations over several hours on October 3.

They both faced Newcastle Local Court on May 23, and are due to re-appear at Wyong Local Court later today.
