The charges were alleged to have taken place in Pembrokeshire between September 2006 and the end of 2007.

Concerns were raised by defence counsel Dyfed Thomas over King’s fitness to enter a plea or stand trial.

Judge Huw Rees adjourned the case to allow for a psychiatric report to be compiled.

King was granted bail, and will return to court on February 2.
