A PENSIONER yesterday admitted sexually abusing two girls 30 years ago.
William Barrigan, 76, of St Barbara's Walk, Newton Aycliffe, County Durham, indecently assaulted the girls, aged eight and 13, between 1972 and 1978.
He was remanded on bail at Teesside Crown Court for medical and pre-sentence reports.
He denied indecent assaults on two other girls aged six and ten dating back to 1968 and Deborah Sherwin, prosecuting, asked for seven days to decide whether to proceed on the latter charges.
