The offences were allegedly committed between November 1, 2016 and March 15, 2018.

During a brief hearing at the local magistrate’s court, a prosecutor said it was the Crown case that there is a prima facie case for the man to answer.

A defence solicitor said there were no contrary submissions to this.

The defendant declined to say anything in answer to the charges, give evidence himself or to call any other evidence on his own behalf.

The man was remanded in custody to appear at Derry Crown Court for arraignment on February 21 next.
