A 14-year-old boy from Feltham has appeared in court accused of sexually assaulting an eight-year-old girl.

The boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, is accused of two counts of sexual assault against an eight-year-old girl and one of raping a girl aged under 13.

The charges do not specify whether the rape charge relates to the same girl as the other two counts.

All three offences are alleged to have taken place in Feltham on March 21 last year.

The defendant appeared at Ealing Magistrates' Court on Wednesday (May 20), and he denied all three charges. He was bailed to return to the court on June 3 for a case management hearing.
