A 38-YEAR-OLD man is on trial at Bradford Crown Court accused of grooming and sexually abusing three underage schoolgirls.

Paul Milner offered to buy one child bum shorts, wanted to see another teenager twerking and jumped up at his bathroom window while one girl used the toilet, it is alleged.

Milner, of Bramble Street, Clayton, Bradford, bought the youngsters, aged 13 and 14, alcohol and cigarettes while taking them "cruising" in his car, the jury was told yesterday.

He denies three charges of meeting a child following sexual grooming, two counts of causing a child to watch a sexual act and one offence of causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity.

All the allegations are said to have happened in March 2014 when two of the girls were 13 and the other 14.

Prosecutor Simon Kealey told the court that Milner bought vodka, WKD and cigarettes for the girls while taking them out in his car. He gave them money and told them not to say anything.

The jury heard that a group of girls would go round to Milner's house in the evenings.

Mr Kealey said one girl texted him with a Facebook friend request but Milner replied that he did not want to get caught.

It is alleged that he offered to buy one child bum shorts but when he looked them up on the internet, he said they weren't short enough. He asked another teenager to twerk for him but she refused.

Milner is also accused of showing underage girls adult pornography on his computer.

Mr Kealey said he was arrested in March 2014. His house was searched and his computer seized by the police.

His phone contained text messages from several girls, including two of the complainants, asking him to take them cruising.

Milner told the police he had not committed any offences.

He said the girls asked him to show them pornography and he played just a few minutes of it.

He agreed he took them out in his car and bought them cigarettes and alcopops.

Milner also stated that he knocked on his bathroom window while two girls were in there.

One teenager, who was 13 at the time, told the jury she at first thought he was very nice but began to feel uncomfortable with him and to believe he was "after something".

He handed out money and bought neat vodka but she drank just a little of it.

The trial continues.
