A 96-year-old Laguna Woods man has been charged with molesting two girls, ages 10 and 11, authorities said Monday.

Kenneth Leroy Collins is scheduled to be arraigned on Friday on four felony counts of lewd or lascivious act with a minor under 14, according to court records.

Deputy District Attorney Mena Guirguis said Collins was arrested on Feb. 25 and is being held in lieu of a $1 million bail. A judge will review the bail amount on Friday. Collins was charged on Feb. 29.

Guirguis said Collins is accused of touching the girls over their clothing, masturbating and taking off his adult diapers to expose himself. Guirguis said the girls were not relatives but were regular visitors to his home.

The alleged incidents occurred in January and February, according to court records.
