A 56-year-old Netherton man has denied carrying out a string of sex attacks on a young girl going back to 1984.

Hifiz Rahman pleaded not guilty to four charges of indecent assault when he appeared before Wolverhampton Crown Court.

Rahman, of Ballard Road, further denied four charges of indecency with a child with all offences alleged to have been committed between March 1984 and March 1988.

Recorder David Mason QC remanded him on bail until May 5 next year after being told his trial was scheduled to last for four days.
