Detective Sergeant Chris Asenjo, of the Warrnambool police sex offences and child abuse investigation team, said detectives flew to Queensland on Wednesday as part of an investigation into alleged sex offences committed at Woolsthorpe in 2003.
The New Zealand national was arrested and charged with five counts of committing an indecent act with a child aged under 16 years at Woolsthorpe and four offences of providing false or misleading information when entering Australia in breach of the Commonwealth Migration Act (1958).
Queensland police arrested the man on Tuesday. He appeared before the Redcliffe Magistrates Court on Thursday and approval was granted to extradite him to Victoria.
The man was flown to Victoria and has been remanded in custody to appear in the Warrnambool Magistrates Court next Monday.
