A 46-year-old man has appeared in the Geraldton Magistrates Court charged in relation to the alleged sexual assault of a 12-year-old girl.
The court heard Chad James Broad is facing two counts of sexually penetrating a child under the age of 13 and one count of indecent dealing in aggravated circumstances of being in company with another person.
He was represented by a duty lawyer who said an application for legal aid would be made and requested a six-week adjournment.
He did not apply for bail and has been remanded in custody to appear in court in May.
Police said the investigation into the alleged incident between the hours of 11:30am and 4pm on March 15 was ongoing.
They have called for anyone with information to come forward.
