A 41-year-old from Birkirkara was accused in court this morning of having defiled and participated in sexual acts with a 14-year-old girl, who is now four months pregnant.

The man said he lives in his car.

He pleaded not guilty.

The prosecution objected to bail because he had tried to contact the girl and her family. He was remanded in custody.
