A Leigh pensioner has denied sexually assaulting an 11-year-old girl on multiple occasions more than 20 years ago.
Maurice Smith, 75, of Patterdale Road, appeared before a Bolton Crown Court judge to plead not guilty to five counts of assault by penetration, one of sexual touching and one of inciting a minor into sexual activity.
All the offences are alleged to have been committed in 2004 and 2005.
The case was adjourned until December 14.
