A MAN has appeared in court charged with indecently assaulting an 11-year-old girl more than a decade ago.

Jonathan Woolrich, 42, of Widnes, came before magistrates at Runcorn on Thursday and admitted four specimen charges of indecent assault dating back to a period between 1984 and 1986.

The offences occured at both his own and the child's home.

Magistrates committed Woolrich to Crown Court for sentencing on August 6.
