A PENSIONER accused of sexually abusing two young girls allegedly told one of them: "It's our little secret."

Peter Ageros, 84, is on trial at Carlisle Crown Court having been charged with indecently assaulting the two youngsters. He faces a total of 30 allegations, which are said to have occurred in the Kendal area during the late 1970s and early 1980s.

A jury of six men and six women heard today (TUES) that Ageros was said to have told one girl of the alleged abuse: "Nobody will believe you".

He allegedly told the other that he was "just showing her how much he loved her", said Tim Evans, prosecuting.

Ageros, of Vicarage Gate, London, denies all 30 charges.

The trial continues.
