A Pembrokeshire teenager accused of raping and sexually assaulting a woman in Haverfordwest will go on trial in October after denying the charges.

Nineteen-year-old Nathan John, of Richard John Road, Milford Haven, appeared at Swansea Crown Court this month, accused of four separate offences against the same woman.

He was charged with rape and sexual assault by penetration relating to allegations on May 16 in Haverfordwest.

The defendant was also accused by the same complainant of assault by beating, and intentional suffocation on the same date.

With John pleading not guilty to all charges, Judge Paul Thomas KC set a trial date of October 14; with the defendant remanded in to custody until that date.
