A man appeared in court on Friday to deny sexually assaulting five different girls—allegedly raping one of them when she was less than 10 years old.
Stephen Bladen, aged 55, of Sycamore Street, Pembroke Dock attended a plea and directions hearing before Judge Paul Thomas at Swansea crown court.
He denied multiple charges of rape, indecent assault, assault by penetration and gross indecency with a child.
Bladen also denied possessing indecent photographs of children on February 2, 2015, and again on April 1.
Some of the offending is said to have taken place in the 1980s.
Bladen will face a seven day trial listed to begin on October 12.
He was granted bail meanwhile.
