Peel man denies indecently assaulting child

A Peel man will stand trial after denying indecently assaulting a child.

65-year-old Charles Joseph Cover, of Christian Street, appeared at Douglas Courthouse yesterday. 

Two other charges - of gross indecency and inciting or procuring a person under the age of 16 to commit gross indecency - can only be tried at the Court of General Gaol Delivery. 

All three offences allegedly took place between May 2016 and December 2017. 

Committal proceedings - where the case is elevated to the Court of General Gaol Delivery - will take place on March 12th; he's been bailed until that date.
