A man in his 50s accused of sexually assaulting a young girl will face trial for the alleged offence.
Manuel Antonio Marques Duarte (55) denies the accusation that he indecently assaulted the girl and will therefore face a trial in the Royal Court.
On Friday, Mr Duarte was represented in the Royal Court by Advocate Michael Haines, who indicated his client’s ‘not guilty’ plea to the charge.

Ahead of this date, Mr Duarte has been released on conditional bail.
