A 70-YEAR-OLD man has denied partaking in sexual activity with a five-year-old girl.
Patrick Satterley, of Copland Close, Great Baddow, Chelmsford, pleaded not guilty at Chelmsford Crown Court today (July 16) to two counts of inciting a girl into engaging in sexual activity.
He is alleged to have caused or incited the girl to touch and draw on his penis during two occasions between July 2012 and April 2013.
The alleged victim cannot be named for legal reasons.
Satterley must reappear at the same court for a trial on Tuesday, December 16.
He was released on bail on the condition he does not see the alleged victim or sleep anywhere other than his home.
