A Douglas woman who's been accused of having unlawful sexual intercourse with a child will stand trial.

52-year-old Karen Evans appeared at Douglas Courthouse this week where she was committed to the Court of General Gaol Delivery.

She's been charged with five offences including indecently assaulting a child and two offences of gross indecency with a person under the age of 16.

The offences allegedly took place between October 1997 and October 1999.

The case was adjourned to a date to be fixed - she's been bailed in the meantime.
