A MAN who is accused of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl is to face trial by judge and jury.

Leslie Hopkins, 36, is said to have molested the teenager against her will in late August last year.

Hopkins, of The Circle, Pinehurst, pleaded not guilty to two counts of sexual assault when he appeared at Swindon Crown Court.

Judge Peter Blair QC adjourned the case to Tuesday, May 3, and released him on bail not to have contact with the girl or unsupervised contact with under 18s.
