A Kamloops-area grandfather accused of sexually touching two of his grandchildren more than five years ago has been ordered to have no contact with them for one year.
The 61-year-old Heffley Creek man entered into a peace bond in Kamloops provincial court on Monday.
His name is bound by a publication ban protecting the identifies of his grandchildren.
The victims were under the age of 16 at the time of the alleged incidents, which occurred between April 1, 2009, and Oct. 30, 2010.
If the grandfather abides by the no-contact order, the criminal charges against him — two counts of a person in a position of authority touching a person under 16 for a sexual purpose — will be stayed.
