A Nolton Haven resident, facing a string of historic sexual offence charges, is to appear at crown court today, Friday, February 27.

Appearing before Haverfordwest magistrates earlier this month, Christopher Rowlands, 47, of Hilton Crest, entered no pleas to the four charges.

Rowlands is accused of, at Milford Haven, the rape of a female under the age of 16 between January and December 1990, two charges of indecent assault of a girl under the age of 14 on the same dates, and a further charge of rape of a female under the age of 16 between January and April 1990.

The case was committed to Swansea crown court where a preliminary hearing is listed to take place today.

Rowlands was bailed on the condition he did not contact the alleged victims.
