A pensioner from Milford Haven is to stand trial accused of sexual assaults on children going back almost 30 years.

Michael Frederick Joseph McGuire, aged 63, is accused of sexually assaulting two girls and a boy and of raping one of the girls.

McGuire, of Greville Road, faces 17 charges in all, including five of rape.

The alleged offences date back to 1981.

McGuire appeared at Swansea crown court on Friday to enter pleas of not guilty to all the charges.

A five day trial will begin on April 19th.

Judge Huw Davies granted McGuire bail until then.
