The incident allegedly happened on Tuesday afternoon and involved an eight-year-old girl.

Peter Ohaka, who is resident in Malta and married to a Maltese woman, was also accused of relapsing.

In a separate case, Aldo Agius, 40, pleaded not guilty to violently assaulting a 24-year-old woman, holding her against her will, slightly injuring her and assaulting her boyfriend.
