A man who is accused of sexually abusing a boy under the age of seven is to face trial by judge and jury.
Daniel Davey is said to have repeatedly molested the youngster in the 18 months to the start of September last year.
The 20-year-old, of Highfield Road, Bradford on Avon, pleaded not guilty to three counts of sexual assault of a child when he appeared at Swindon Crown Court.
The court was told that two of the charges are 'multi-incident counts' which allege the activity took place on at least five occasions.
Judge Tim Mousley QC adjourned the case to September 18 and released Davey on bail until then.
