John Jaratt charged over alleged sexual assault

Wolf Creek star denies historic allegations after police lay charges.

Actor John Jarratt, best known for his role in Wolf Creek, has been charged with allegedly sexually assaulting a woman more than 40 years ago.

In a statement, NSW Police allege Jarratt raped an 18-year-old woman in September 1976 at a home in Randwick.

“Following inquiries, yesterday a 66-year-old man was issued a Future Court Attendance Notice for the offence of rape,” NSW Police said.

Jarratt was 23 at the time of the alleged rape and has previously denied all claims.

Speaking to a reporter today, Jarratt said the allegation was “ridiculous and untrue”.

“It’s fine, because I’m innocent,” he said.

“Because I’m a good man.”

He is due to appear before Waverley Local Court on Wednesday 10th October.
