Man bailed over 33 child sex allegations

A man charged with indecently assaulting a child and rape has been bailed.

The man can't be named after Tynwald passed new laws earlier this year protecting the identities of alleged sex offenders.

He denies eight counts of indecent assault on a child, but hasn't entered pleas to six counts of rape and 19 of inciting a person under 16 to commit gross indecency

Magistrates committed him to appear at the Court of General Gaol Delivery on a date to be set.

He was bailed with conditions to obey a 12.30am to 7am curfew, report to police three times a week, and not have unsupervised contact with children.
