North and West Cumbria Magistrates Court in Workington.
A west Cumbrian man has appeared in court to answer a historical sex offence allegation.
Gordon Holliday, 58, of Howbank Road, Egremont, appeared at the magistrates court in Workington on Friday.
Holliday did not enter a plea.
He was charged with an indecent assault on a girl under the age of 14.
The incident is said to have happened in the late 90s.
Holliday was wearing a blue shirt and tie and spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth and address.
He was placed on unconditional bail until his next hearing at the crown court in Carlisle on March 25.
