THREE Bournemouth men charged with sexual offences against teenaged boys have been remanded in custody after a hearing at Bournemouth Magistrates Court yesterday.
Disabled Robert Marti, 54, of Haviland Mews, Boscombe, denied 11 charges relating to offences against three teenaged boys.
Kevin Carpenter, 49, of St Swithuns Road, Boscombe, whom the court heard “works when he can” and appeared in the dock on crutches, denied eight offences against boys aged between 13 and 15.
Amusement arcade worker Luke James, 35, of Charminster Road, denied one charge relating to offences against two teenaged boys.
All three men were arrested on Friday.
The charges were based on video interviews given by three boys in the preceding days.
The case has been referred to Bournemouth Crown Court, where a preliminary hearing will be held on June 22.
