Kate Prince, prosecuting, said the girls – who were aged 17 at the time – are not known to each other.

The 64-year-old, of Magdalen Road, Tetbury, denies the charges.

Cox will next appear at Swindon Crown Court for a plea and trial preparation hearing on 27 October.

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.
