A 22-year-old policeman was yesterday charged with indecently assaulting two English students in the early hours of Tuesday morning in Paceville. PC Carl Vella, from Naxxar, pleaded not guilty to the charges shortly before the two women testified behind closed doors.
PC Vella also denied breaching the peace, assaulting three of his colleagues, resisting orders and committing a crime he was in duty bound to prevent.
Magistrate Joseph Apap Bologna granted him bail against a personal guarantee of €1,000.
