A 56-year-old man has been charged over the alleged sexual assault of a fellow prisoner at Casuarina Prison more than three decades ago.
The accused, who was 25 at the time, allegedly raped the 19-year-old victim during a prison lockdown on August 15, 1995.
He also allegedly used a cord to strangle the teenager causing him to lose consciousness.
The man, who remains a prisoner, has been charged with one count of aggravated sexual penetration without consent and one count of attempting to unlawfully kill.
He is due to appear before the Perth Magistrates Court on October 30.
