A Pembrokeshire man, accused of rape, sexual assault and causing a woman to engage in a non-penetrative sexual activity, will have his case heard at Swansea Crown Court.
Richard Murray, 46, of Hill Street, Haverfordwest, appeared at Haverfordwest Magistrates Court yesterday, Tuesday, September 17.
He was charged with oral rape, intentionally sexually touching a woman and placing a woman’s hand on his penis without her consent.
All the offences are alleged to have happened in Narberth in August 2022.
No pleas were entered at this stage. Magistrates declined jurisdiction and sent the case to Swansea Crown Court.
Murray was released on conditional bail until then. Magistrates told him that he must not contact his alleged victim either directly or indirectly.
He will appear in Crown Court next month for a plea and trial preparation hearing.
