A MAN charged with one count of sexual assault was this afternoon remanded by the Suva Magistrates Court.

It is alleged the 60-year-old man unlawfully and indecently assaulted his five-year-old granddaughter on December 29, 2018, in a maritime island.

Police prosecutor Constable Priti Prasad served full phase of disclosures and objected to bail on the grounds that the charge was serious.

Magistrate Deepika Prakash has ordered the accused to file a formal bail application and has transferred the matter to the Chief Magistrate to decide on the bail.

The case has been adjourned to January 31.
