A 41-year-old man who is accused of sexually abusing an underage girl has been released on bail by a judge.

Aubrey Carter is accused of having sex with a 15-year-old girl between Wednesday, May 8 and Saturday, May 11 this year.

He is also said to have carried out another sex act with the girl, when she was aged 14 or 15 years old, between the start of 2012 and mid-May this year.

No charge was put to Carter, of Cornflower Close, Calne, when he appeared before Swindon Crown Court on Friday and he did not enter any pleas.

Judge Douglas Field adjourned the case to Friday February 14 and released him on conditional bail until then.

He told him he must not have contact with the girl.
