He is believed to be the oldest person ever prosecuted in connection with a family sexual assault.  A 92-year old man is on trial here in Montreal, charged with preying on his two daughters fifty years ago. He is almost fully deaf, partially blind and has trouble getting around with a walker but was found by psychologists to be fit to stand trial.  The charges are based on what the two daughters say happened between 1956 and 1963.  They say they grew up in fear of their father, ashamed of what he did to them. He says they're making up their story, inspired by similar accusations made by the daughters of boxer Dave Hilton.
