A Donegal man in his 60s faces 14 sexual assault charges.
A book of evidence will be served on the man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, later this year.
The case of the man was mentioned at Letterkenny District Court on Monday.
Sergeant Jim Collins told the court that the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has directed that the matter be dealt with by trial on indictment.
The man’s solicitor, Mr Ciaran Mac Lochlainn, sought a book of evidence and legal aid was granted.
The accused was remanded on continuing bail to appear before the court on December 5 when a book of evidence will be served.
