A Melrose man has appeared in private at Selkirk Sheriff Court accused of lewd and libidinous practices towards two young girls.
Fifty-nine-year-old John Logan is also charged with indecently assaulting one of the girls after she had turned 13 years of age.
He also faces a fourth charge of assault.
The offences are alleged to have been committed between 1973 and 1981.
Logan made no plea and the case was continued for further examination and he was released on bail by Sheriff Raymond McMenamin.
