A 20-YEAR-OLD man has denied a series of child sex offences.

Aaron Cachia, of Frensham Drive, Great Horton, Bradford, appeared at Bradford Crown Court yesterday and pleaded not guilty to six charges of sexually assaulting a child under 13 as well as two counts of causing or inciting a child under 13 to engage in sexual activity.

The offences are alleged to involve two girls and have taken place between September 2005 and September 2008 when one girl was aged between six and ten and the other aged between five and eight.

A trial date was fixed for July 28 and Cachia was granted unconditional bail.
