A Douglas man will stand trial after being accused of indecently assaulting two females.

38-year-old Abdullah Yavuz, of Broadway, appeared at Douglas Courthouse yesterday.

He entered not guilty pleas to seven counts of indecent assault - they're alleged to have taken place between May 2012 and October 2016.

He'll stand trial at the Court of General Gaol Delivery - committal proceedings are due to take place on June 13th.

Bail was granted on the condition that he doesn't leave the Isle of Man without permission from the court and that he surrenders his passport.
