Two men accused of committing sexual offences against two 15-year-old girls they met at a pub in Norfolk have pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Travis Irah Fitzpatrick Wilson, 20, of The Common, South Creake, is charged with raping a 15-year-old girl in Fakenham on 25 September. Oliver Studd, 20, of St Matthew Hostel, Hunstanton, is accused of sexually assaulting another 15-year-old girl at the same time.

Both pleaded not guilty at Norwich Crown Court on Monday and are due to stand trial in 2028.

An earlier hearing at Norwich Magistrates' Court was told the pair had met the girls at The Limes in Fakenham before following them and allegedly committing the assaults outside the nearby Mr Chips.

The men have been released on conditional bail.

A trial date has been set for 13 March 2028.
