A 62-year-old man has been charged with indecent assault against a teenage boy as part of an investigation into historic child abuse in North Wales.
Richard Daffyd Vevar, from Wrexham, north Wales, has been charged with two offences against a boy aged between 13 and 16, the National Crime Agency (NCA) said.
The offences are alleged to have taken place between 1986 and 1989.
He has been bailed to appear at Dolgellau Magistrates' Court on June 2.
Vevar is the second man to be charged as part of an investigation into historic child abuse in North Wales, known as Operation Pallial.
The investigation, led by Keith Bristow, director general of the NCA, was set up to re-examine allegations that a paedophile ring targeted care and children's homes in the area between 1953 and 1995.
Twenty people have been arrested since the new inquiry was announced by Home Secretary Theresa May in December 2011, following allegations of abuse from children aged between six and 19. (more...)
