Police arrested Anthony John Minney, 35, of Blamey Road, Punchbowl, on May 29.

He is now facing one charge with the police prosecution file alleging that he, "being a person convicted of a sexual offence, namely indecent assault, was found loitering near children".

Those indecent assaults occurred in 2001 when Minney molested a 10-year-old girl at George Town and a nine-year-old girl in Launceston.

He will appear before the Launceston Magistrates Court on July 12.
