A NSW prison officer has been charged with ongoing sexual abuse of female prisoners at a prison in Berkshire Park in western Sydney.

The crime was uncovered following police investigating prisons as part of Strike Force Nautilus in October 2018 after receiving reports that prisoners were being sexually assaulted.

The 62-year-old man will face court today on six counts of aggravated sexual assault.
