A pensioner has been charged with sexually assaulting a four-year-old girl in an Asda store.
Hugh Unwin, 75, is alleged to have assaulted the girl as she sat in a shopping trolley while her mother's back was turned to pick up an item from a shelf.
Sussex Police officers were called to the store in Crawley, at noon on Sunday to reports of a man acting suspiciously around the girl.
Unwin, of Garden Walk, Crawley, was remanded in custody when he appeared at Crawley Magistrates' Court on Monday, police said.
He will next appear in court on September 25.
