Man Denies 30 Sexual Offences

A man has denied a string of sexual offences against children and three against an adult.

The man, who cannot be named legally, is also charged with possession of indecent images of children. 

Appearing before magistrates, the man denied 18 indecent assaults on children, dating from 2003 to 2014, as well as one assault and one attempted indecent assault on an adult and a further charge dating to 1995.

He also denied nine charges of possessing indecent images of children, including one moving image.

Prosecutors says the images range cover the full range of the SAP scale (commonly referred to as Copine), with the images ranging from the least serious (one) to the most serious (five).

The man was remanded in custody and will next appeal in October for committal to the Court of General Gaol Delivery.
