A CAERSWS man accused of assaulting a woman just before Christmas last year will go to trial .

David Bennett, 71, denies assault on December 12, 2022, in Caersws. Bennett, of Cwm Gwernog, Caersws, appeared at Welshpool Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday, July 11, where he entered a not guilty plea.

The case was adjourned, with the trial due to take place in Welshpool on September 25. Bennett remains on conditional bail, which prevents him from contacting the complainant.
