A PROMINENT South Australian arts identity has been charged with multiple serious sex offences dating back to the early 1990s.

The father was arrested two weeks ago and will face court on 12 charges.

Police allege the offences occurred in South Australia between 1990 and 1992.

The accused, who can’t be identified, was granted bail and is expected to appear in court in June.

When contacted by The Advertiser, the man said he was “unable to make any comment about it” before hanging up.
