A MAN charged with six counts relating to sexual activity with a child aged between 13 and 17 has appeared in court.

Wayne Roberts of Westcott Way, Pershore, gave no pleas where he appeared at Worcester Magistrates Court yesterday.

The 37-year-old spoke only to confirm his name, address, date of birth and nationality during the hearing.

Magistrates heard the six alleged offences were ones that can only be dealt with at crown court.

The next hearing of the case will take place at Worcester Crown Court at 10am, on Thursday, March 1.

Roberts was given conditional bail.
