An 86-year-old man from Amroth appeared before a crown court judge on Friday accused of sexual offences dating back more than 40 years.

Wynford Hodge, of Parsonage Farm, faces 15 charges involving two girls then aged seven and nine. 

Hodge is charged with indecently assaulting both girls and raping one of them.

He appeared before Judge Keith Thomas at Swansea Crown Court on Friday and entered pleas of not guilty to all of the charges.

His trial will open on May 29 and Hodge was granted bail until then.
