A man has been arrested and charged with almost 80 historical child sexual assault offences.
The 54-year-old man is accused of sexually abusing multiple children in the Coffs Harbour area on the NSW north coast between 1998 and 2008.
Detectives received a tip-off in November 2023 and established Strike Force Durrumbul to investigate.
Police worked with prison officers and arrested the man at Goulburn Police Station on Tuesday morning.
He was charged with 76 historical child sex and physical violence offences, which police will allege occurred against eight children.
He was refused bail to appear before Goulburn Local Court on Wednesday.
