A Douglas man has appeared in court to deny 27 child sex offences and three relating to an adult.
The man can't be named after Tynwald members voted to protect the identities of alleged sex offenders under new laws earlier this year.
He denies 18 counts of indecently assaulting a child, nine of possessing indecent images of children, two of indecently assaulting an adult, and one of attempted indecent assault.
He was remanded into custody and is next due to appear in court on October 3.
