A 53-year-old man appeared at a district court in Kerry yesterday, charged with the sexual assault of two girls, writes Anne Lucey.

The man, who lives outside the county and may not be named, is charged with three counts against one female under the age of 15 and with two charges against a second girl on various dates during 2007 and 2008.

Reporting restrictions were imposed by Judge James O’Connor to protect the identity of all parties.

Judge O’Connor remanded the man with consent to bail to appear again before the court on February 2nd for the book of evidence to be served.
