A man from Pembroke Dock is to appear at Swansea Crown Court next week, charged with 41 offences of a sexual nature towards children.

Fifty-four-year-old Stephen Bladen, of Sycamore Street, appeared at Haverfordwest magistrates court on Tuesday for a hearing.

Prosecutor Lesley Harbon told magistrates that the majority of the allegations were indictable only and not suitable for jurisdiction at the magistrates court.

Magistrates told Mr. Bladen, that he would be remanded in custody due to the nature and seriousness of the offences and that he would face a further hearing at Swansea Crown Court on Tuesday.
