Alan Roberts, 73, of Picton Road, Hakin, Milford Haven aces multiple charges of indecent assault and gross indecency involving girls under the age of 14, alleged to have occurred over several decades in Hakin, Milford Haven.

The youngest is alleged to have been just five or six years old.

Another series of allegations point to incidents between 10 March 2000 and 11 March 2001, and two further incidents are claimed to have occurred between 11 February 2009 and 11 February 2010, and between 28 July 2017 and 29 July 2018. The charges encompass a total of 23 counts of indecent assault and gross indecency.

The maximum penalty for each charge is up to six months imprisonment and/or an unlimited fine.

The identities of the complainants are protected under Section 1 of the Sexual Offences Amendment Act 1992.
