Five charges relate to carrying out penetrative acts, whilst one relates to causing or inciting an act.

Due to the nature of the charges, the case can’t be heard in a magistrates’ court.

The case was sent to Salisbury Crown Court for a plea hearing on 26 January.

Snelgrove, of Church Street, was released on bail with conditions not to contact two named persons and a named road in Corsham.

Alleged victims of sexual crimes have the right to lifelong anonymity. It is an imprisonable criminal offence to share any piece of information that could lead to their identification.
