NANTICOKE &#8212; Two sisters testified Friday that Victor Oscar Reyes took their cell phone and promised to buy them a computer if they allowed him to perform a lewd sexual act on them.They couldn&#8217;t remember the exact dates when Reyes, 35, allegedly molested them inside houses in Nanticoke and Warrior Run from December 2013 to December 2014.One sister testified she was molested during the school year and summer while the other sister claimed she was molested only during the summer.They also testified they were afraid to tell anyone until they moved to New Jersey earlier this year.After the girls testified at Reyes&#8217; preliminary hearing, District Judge Donald Whittaker determined Assistant District Attorney Cara Solimine established a case against him, sending four counts of indecent assault and two counts of corruption of minors to Luzerne County Court.Reyes, of Nanticoke, remains free on $25,000 unsecured bail.The sisters alleged they were molested when they were both 13 years old.In an attempt to have the case dismissed, Reyes&#8217; attorney, Charles Ross, said there was no evidence his client molested the girls and the girls could not recall the exact dates or how many times they were assaulted.One girl testified Reyes took her cell phone away from her, and he would only give it back if she allowed him to perform a sexual act. The other girl testified Reyes promised to buy a computer if he could perform a lewd act on her.<div class="metaInfo"><bylineMeta>By Ed Lewiselewis@www.timesleader.com</bylineMeta></div><div class="metaInfo"><shirttailMeta>Reach Ed Lewis at 570-991-6116 or on Twitter @TLEdLewis</shirttailMeta></div>
