A man who allegedly was prostituted to pedophiles for most of his childhood has accused two Sydney men of more than 200 child sex offences, police say.
Police arrested two men within minutes of each other on Wednesday morning – about 12 months after the alleged victim made a lengthy statement to officers.
Detectives attached to Strike Force Lighthorse, set up to investigate the allegations, expect to lay charges on Wednesday against a 60-year-old man taken into custody at Harris Park, in Sydney’s west, and a 56-year-old man arrested at his Belrose home, in Sydney’s northern suburbs.
The younger man is reportedly a children’s sports instructor and Aussie Rules umpire.
NSW Police Sex Crimes Squad Commander John Kerlatec said one of the men allegedly was responsible for prostituting the victim between 1979 and 1988, when he was aged 10 to 18.

“We will certainly attempt to locate any person that did engage this victim for prostitution.”
