Court documents state the alleged abuse happened many times. This took place at the man's own home.
The alleged crimes are said to have happened over a period of weeks. This allowed the alleged abuse to continue.
The court has ordered that the man be kept in custody. He is awaiting further legal proceedings.
This means he will not be free until the court decides his case is ready to move forward.
The police are continuing their investigation into the details of the case.
