An 80-year-old man has been charged by police after allegedly inappropriately touching a woman while visiting an aged care home in Newcastle, NSW, last month.

The man, whose name cannot be revealed, was arrested in Newcastle on March 27, just one day after the alleged incident occurred.

Local police wasted no time in following up and charged him with aggravated sexual touching of another person. 

The senior has been granted bail but will face the Newcastle Local Court on Tuesday, April 18.
