A 23-year-old man from Hampton Wick has pleaded not guilty to charges of having sex with a girl aged 15, and one count of making an unwarranted demand of money from the alleged victim.

Joshua Dubey appeared at Kingston Crown Court on February 10 charged with sexual offences alleged to have taken place between 2010 and 2011, and the blackmail and demands for money which allegedly were made between 2010 and 2013.

His bail conditions stipulated he must live and sleep at his Jubilee Close residence, and have no contact with the alleged victim.

Mr Dubey’s trial is due to begin on July 20.
