A man from Taw Hill is set to stand trial accused of the rape of a teenage girl.

Aaron Lee Alan Ferris Roberts is charged with raping the teenager in Camborne, Cornwall.

The allegation dates back to 2020.

Roberts, of Queen Elizabeth Drive, is further charged with attempted rape and sexual assault between the same dates.

The 31-year-old further allegedly caused the girl to engage in sexual activity and engaged in sexual communication with her, namely by sending her a picture of his penis.

Roberts appeared before Truro Magistrates’ Court on September 15 where he was not required to enter a plea to any of the charges.

The case was sent to Truro Crown Court, as it was too serious to be dealt with in the lower court.

He was released on unconditional bail and will next appear in the dock on October 14.
