An elderly man facing court over historic sexual offences has been granted bail to live interstate despite being unable to raise a $10,000 surety.

The man, 77, was in a wheelchair and had trouble hearing when he appeared before a Victorian court on Tuesday, charged with sexually assaulting his three daughters during the 1960s and 1970s.

The 77-year-old man is charged with 62 offences, including indecent assault, common assault, carnal knowledge of a girl under 10, incest and false imprisonment.

The court heard his health had deteriorated while in custody, after he was extradited from South Australia in August last year and charged with 62 offences, including indecent assault, common assault, carnal knowledge of a girl under 10, incest and false imprisonment.

The man applied for bail last year but was unable to raise the $10,000 required by a magistrate as surety and remained in custody.
