A 33-year-old man has denied a series of child sex offences today.

Salik Miah, of Ferry Hinksey Road, appeared via video link from Bullingdon Prison at Oxford Crown Court for a plea and case management hearing.

He denied rape, trafficking within the UK for sexual exploitation, conspiracy to rape and arranging or facilitating child prostitution between November 11, 2005, and March 28, 2007.

Miah was arrested in August as part of Thames Valley Police's Operation Spur, which investigated historic child exploitation in Oxford.

He is due to appear before the same court for trial on February 8.
