A 43-year-old Greenway man is facing court, charged with historic sexual and grooming offences.

The offences include grooming, sexual intercourse with young person under special care, and possession of child abuse material.

ACT Police arrested the man after an online historical report was submitted to police for investigation in July 2023.

Police established Operation Parham to investigate the allegations of historical sexual offending against a young girl known to the man between 2012 and 2016.

On Wednesday, police searched the man’s Greenway home where a number of items, including a computer and two mobile phones, were seized.

The man was arrested, and is facing 14 charges:

• sexual intercourse with young person under special care (three counts)
• act of indecency with young person under special care (two counts)

• sexual intercourse with person over 10 but under 16 years (two counts)
• groom young person (single count)
• possess child abuse material (single count)
