A MAN was charged in court on Wednesday with molesting his teenage step-daughter.

The 42-year-old man faces three counts of outraging the modesty of the girl at their Jurong flat in 2006 and 2007. The girl was then around 13 or 14.

He is also accused of intruding into her privacy by peeping at her while she was showering on a day in May 2007.

Bail of $15,000 was set.

He intends to get free legal aid. He will be back in court on July 15.
