NSW man charged with indecent assaults

A man has been charged after two women, including an octogenarian, were indecently assaulted in their homes on the NSW Central Coast in the past four months.

Police said an 87-year-old woman was tricked into letting a man into her home on Gertrude Street, Gosford on Friday, where he committed an act of indecency.

The same thing happened in September last year to a 45-year-old woman who lives on the same street.

A 39-year-old man was arrested in hospital on Monday and charged with two counts of committing an act of indecency.

He was refused bail at a bedside hearing and is expected to face court next month.
