A 65-year-old Tyldesley man admitted sexually molesting three young girls during a 20-year-old period.
Wilfred Nowell, of Castleton Court, pleaded guilty on Monday to 14 offences of indecently assaulting the girls between March 1983 and October 2003.
Nowell, who appeared via video link equipment from Liverpool prison, denied one offence of raping one of the girls when she was aged about eight and the charge is to be dropped.
He admitted four offences of indecently assaulting her; six offences of indecently assaulting a girl aged between 13 and 15 and four similar offences against a nine-year-old girl.
He was remanded in custody by a Liverpool Crown Court to await sentence on October 14.
