A MAN yesterday appeared in court over allegations of indecently assaulting women.
Reflexologist Stuart James Hill, 50, pleaded not guilty to three charges of indecent assault, said to have taken place between December 1999 and May 2001.
He denied a further charge of witness intimidation, relating to another woman, between June last year and this January.
The hearing, at Durham Crown Court, was adjourned for a trial expected to last for between seven and ten days.
Mr Hill, of St Agatha's Close, Brandon, near Durham, who runs a practice in Nevilles Cross, Durham, was bailed to return for the trial, in October.
