A 16-year-old youth today appeared at Bradford Crown Court charged with raping a boy aged four.
The teenager, who cannot be named because of his age, denies the accusation, dating from May last year.
He also pleads not guilty to causing the child to take part in sexual activity and to watch a sex act.
The case was adjourned until August 29 when a trial date is set to be fixed.
The youth, who was 15 at the time of the alleged offences, was bailed on condition he does not contact the boy.
