Suffolk pensioner appears in court charged with sexual offences in Hampshire in the 1990's
The court heard how the 65-year-old is accused of the rape of an 18-year-old in 'Hampshire or elsewhere'
A man has appeared in court charged with a string of sexual assaults against four teenage men and boys dating back to the 1990s.
Allan Grimson, of Grove Road, Hollesley, Suffolk, is accused of the rape of an 18-year-old man in "Hampshire or elsewhere" and five charges of indecent assault against the same victim between February 1, 1999, and November 30, 1999.
Basingstoke Magistrates' Court heard the 65-year-old is also accused of taking an indecent photo of a child and four charges of indecent assault against a second victim in "Hampshire or elsewhere" between March 26, 1999, and October 31, 1999.
He is also charged with a count of indecent assault of a third victim between February 28, 1994, and December 31, 1994, and indecent assault of a fourth victim between September 30, 1998, and December 1, 1998.
The defendant, wearing grey jogging bottoms and top, spoke to confirm his name and date of birth during the brief hearing, and his case was adjourned for a plea-and-trial preparation hearing at Winchester Crown Court on March 19.
The court heard Grimson had indicated not guilty pleas would be entered to the charges at a later date.
District Judge Tim Pattinson told him: "The rape charge must be heard at Winchester Crown Court, the next date is 19th March for a plea-and-trial preparation hearing.
"There are 12 other sexual offences which are related offences, all of these will be committed to Winchester Crown Court alongside the rape charge and all those will be heard also on 19th March."
Hampshire Police previously said the offences were alleged to have taken place in Portsmouth and Tyne and Wear.
