A PRESCOT man has denied allegations of historic gross indecency with a boy almost three decades ago.

Paul Gary Paget, 47, of Church Street, Prescot denied six charges of gross indecency with a boy under the age of 14 when he appeared at Liverpool Magistrates' Court on Wednesday (February 21).

Paget is alleged to have committed the offences between December 1988 and December 1991.

He would have been aged between 18 and 21 at the time of the alleged offences.

The case has been sent for trial at Liverpool Crown Court.

Paget, who was granted unconditional bail, is due to next appear at the Crown Court on Wednesday, March 21.
