A MAN from Northwich faces a trial after denying he sexually touched a teenage girl.
Peter Griffith, of Albemarle Avenue in Hartford, entered not guilty pleas to a string of charges made against him.
He was appearing at Chester Crown Court on Friday, March 25.
It is alleged the 50-year-old sexually touched the girl, aged either 14 or 15 at the time, on four separate occasions between June 2019 and September 2020.
Griffith also denied a fifth charge of inciting the same girl to touch him sexually during the same time period.
The trial, expected to last around four or fives days, was listed for Chester Crown Court the week commencing November 28.
Griffith was remanded on conditional bail until his next appearance.
