Man, 89, fronts court over 99 historical sex offence charges

An 89-year-old man has appeared before court charged with 99 sexual offences that allegedly occurred in Gippsland more than 40 years ago.
Melbourne Magistrates Court on Friday heard Lawrence Fitzpatrick intended to contest the charges against him, and was scheduled to appear before a 10-day hearing later this year, which will determine whether he stands trial.
