An 85-year-old woman has been indecently assaulted by a man who allegedly broke into her retirement home late at night in the New South Wales central west. The elderly resident was asleep in her Blayney unit when she was woken by someone touching her before midnight on Monday, police say. She said she saw a man “committing an act of indecency” and challenged him, before he left the room. The woman escorted him out of the unit but caught him looking in her bedroom window and called police. A 41-year-old man was later arrested in Cowra and charged with aggravated break and enter and commit a serious indictable offence, and sexually touching another person without consent. He was also charged with theft, drug and firearm offences relating to a break-in at a commercial property in Blayney earlier that night.
