SINGAPORE : A 39-year-old man has been charged with molesting two girls aged 10 and 11.
The incidents happened in 2005.
It is believed the man touched their breasts and private parts.
District Judge Lim Tze Haw granted him a bail of S$20,000 and told the man to stay away from the girls.
However, the man told the court that he wishes to stay in remand.
He also said that he intends to plead guilty to his alleged offences.
The case will be mentioned again on May 4.
If convicted of outraging the girls' modesty, the man could be jailed up to five years, fined or caned.
