The Warrnambool police Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Team recently charged the man with five alleged offences.
They include rape, sexual penetration of a 16-year-old child under his supervision or authority, and three counts of allegedly committing an indecent act with a 16-year-old child under his care, supervision or authority.
