A 70-year-old foreign national who allegedly sexually assaulted 2 boys between 2010 and 2011 will be produced in the Sigatoka Magistrates Court today.

He was earlier charged for allegedly sexually assaulting two minors in Sigatoka earlier this week.

Police say the joint investigation team from the CID Headquarters in Suva and Sigatoka investigated more reports against the accused that were brought to their attention during their community visitations in the Sigatoka area.

It is alleged that the accused between 2010 and 2011 had sexually assaulted two victims who were aged 11 on several different occasions at a resort.

The accused, who was sponsoring the victims' education, allegedly booked a room for the two where he committed the offences.

He has been charged with four counts of sexual assault and three counts of indecently insulting or annoying any person.
