Crown court date set for Worksop man (77) who sexually assaulted teenage girls

Charles Prince, aged 77, of South View Cottages, Lowtown View, denied one count of sexual assault but admitted four others when he appeared at Mansfield Magistates Court, on Tuesday.

Alexis Mercer, prosecuting, said the two complainants are vulnerable due to their age.

Paris Seeley, mitigating, said Prince has learning and hearing difficulties.

Prince will have to register as a sex offender at Worksop Police Station within three days and a pre-sentence report was ordered.

He received unconditional bail to appear at Nottingham Crown Court for a pre-trial preparation hearing on October 31.
