A man has appeared in court to plead not guilty to multiple child sex offences against four teenage girls.
Callum Walker, aged 22, denied six offences which include sexual activity with two underage teenage girls on the same day.
Walker, of Caenbrook Meadow, Presteigne, appeared before Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court on Wednesday, August 16, where he spoke to confirm his name, age, address and his not guilty pleas.
The Recorder of Cardiff Her Honour Judge Tracey Lloyd-Clarke fixed a trial date for January 8. The trial is expected to last up to two weeks.
The incidents are alleged to have taken place between December 1, 2018, and September 20, 2021, in Presteigne and Llandrindod Wells.
Walker denies sexual activity and two counts of sexual assault by touching a teenage child in September 2021, and to another offence against another teenage girl on the same day.
The 22-year-old also denied an offence dating to June 2021, and sending sexual messages to a girl aged between 12 and 13 between December 1, 2018 and January 11, 2020.
Walker was granted conditional bail to return to court for his trial with one condition which is not to contact directly or indirectly any of the witnesses.
