A former youth football coach facing a string of historic child sex abuse charges has appeared in court today (tues).

Michael Carson, 74, is charged with 13 counts of historic child sex abuse.

The ex-scout, known as ‘Kit’, from Cambridge, was arrested in January last year on suspicion of indecency with children and indecent assault.

Appearing at Cambridge Crown Court today, the Irishman wore a dark suit, floral tie and white shirt, and spoke to confirm his date of birth and nationality.

He denied 12 counts of indecent assault and one count of causing or insighting a child to engage in sexual activity.

Relating to the final count, the court heard that the defendant allegedly told a boy under the age of 13 to exercise naked in a hotel room.
