Robert David Reti is on trial in the Perth District Court on two counts of indecent dealing with a child under 13 years at the two centres in 2023.

The court heard a four-year old girl who Mr Reti allegedly touched indecently told her mother in 2023 what had happened to her.

Prosecutor Kathryn Kraus said the girl told her mother she had been in her underwear when the alleged incident happened.

The preschooler said her new friend, whom she knew as "Rob" had "tickled her" with his penis.
