'Indecent assaults' during Sydney prayers
A man accused of indecently assaulting women while praying with them in Sydney homes is behind bars.
The 38-year-old was arrested in Oxley Park on Sunday morning and later refused bail by a Parramatta magistrate on two charges of indecent assault.
Described as a guru in the Hindu community, the man allegedly met a woman, 29, for prayers in a Rooty Hill home in 2016 before assaulting her in the bedroom, police say.
A similar accusation, involving a 34-year-old woman in a Rooty Hill home in 2018, has also been made.
The man is due to face Mount Druitt Local Court on June 26.
