A 53-year-old man will appear in the Rio Claro Magistrates Court on Tuesday charged with sexually touching his 12-year-old female relative in 2017.
The man, whose identity has been withheld to protect the victim, was charged on Monday by the Child Protection Unit of the TTPS.
The incident allegedly took place at the man's home in New Grant, Princes Town in 2017.
The child, who is now 14, told a teacher about the reported assault two weeks ago and the police was alerted.
