The two alleged victims cannot be named for legal reasons.

It is alleged the first count was a historic sexual offence which occurred between 1999 and 2000 while the second two counts occurred last year.

The 58-year-old, of High Furlong, Banbury, is now due to appear at Oxford Crown Court on March 12 where it is expected a trial date will be set.
