Pc Gary Scott, 50, appeared before Sheffield Crown Court on Thursday where he denied three counts of indecent assault on a "male person aged 10 or 11".

The charges all relate to the same complainant and the offences are alleged to have taken place between 2001 and 2003, when the defendant was not a police officer.
