A FORMER Koroit district man has been remanded in custody for sentencing during February after pleaded guilty to sex charges involving his daughters.
The man, who cannot be named as it would disclose the identity of his victims, appeared in the Melbourne County Court on Thursday and pleaded guilty to four counts of committing an indecent act with a child aged under 16 years.
During November the man faced two trials in the Warrnambool County Court relating to sex allegations involving his three daughters.
In the first trial a jury acquitted the man of charges including incest, false imprisonment and sexual penetration of a child aged under 16 years.
The second trial was aborted after a jury heard inappropriate evidence, but the man then decided to plead guilty to some charges.
The man has now been remanded in custody for sentencing on February 6. He has made no application for bail.
The family of the victims listened to the Melbourne plea hearing in Warrnambool via a video link on Thursday.
