Officers said the alleged abuse involving the two boys occurred between 2019 and 2021.
The allegations were reported to police earlier this month, and Mr Salt was arrested by Child Abuse Squad detectives on Friday.
He is facing 16 charges, including eight of indecently dealing with a child under 16 and four of procuring a child under 16 to do an indecent act.
