A man is to face trial next year accused of raping a child in Dilton Marsh.

Scott Williams pleaded not guilty to a single charge of raping a girl under the age of 16 when he appeared at Swindon Crown Court on Friday.

The 20-year-old, of Criollo Court, Westbury, is said to have carried out the sex offence on January 14 this year.

Judge Douglas Field adjourned the case to March 31 next year and released him on conditional bail until then.

He told him he must not have contact with any witnesses in the case or go to Dilton Marsh.
