Trial set for October as court hears case involving alleged offences in Cornwall

A MILFORD HAVEN man, now living in Cornwall, has denied a series of serious sexual offences involving a teenage girl, along with alleged breaches of a court order imposed following a previous conviction.

James Kershaw, aged 45, formerly of Lower Priory, appeared before Swansea Crown Court on Monday (Feb 16).

He pleaded not guilty to all counts on the indictment, which prosecutors allege relate to sexual communication and activity involving a girl aged 13 in 2023, as well as two alleged breaches of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO).

The charges include sexual communication with a child between October 26 and November 1, 2023, causing a child to watch a sexual act in October 2023, causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity, and two counts of breaching an SHPO by creating a social media account and possessing an internet-enabled device without approval.

During the hearing, His Honour Judge Huw Rees granted Kershaw bail with conditions, including a prohibition on contacting prosecution witnesses.

A trial date has been fixed for October 5, 2026.
