A 47-year-old Warwick man appeared in Magistrates' Court yesterday to face seven charges of sexually exploiting three children who had been left in his care.

The charges allegedly occurred between July 1 and July 31 of 2008.

The man, who cannot be identified for legal reason, was not asked to enter a plea as the offences are indictable and must be dealt with in Supreme Court. He will appear for mention in court on March 1. Senior Magistrate Archibald Warner remanded him in custody until then.
