The jury has been sent out to deliberate in the trial of a west Suffolk farm worker who is accused of a string of sex offences.

Simon Harrington, who is of North Court, Brandon, has pleaded not guilty to four offences of rape in relation to one alleged victim, two offences of sexual assault of a child relating to a second alleged victim and two offences of indecent assault, three offences of assault of a child by penetration and two offences of sexual activity with a child in relation to a third alleged victim.

The court previously heard police who searched his home found a mannequin wearing a T-shirt with a badge of the name of one of his alleged victims in his bedroom.

Harrington has told the trial there is no truth to the allegations.

Lori Tucker, prosecuting, said the alleged offences, some of which date back to the 1990s, happened while Harrington was living in Brandon.

Judge David Wilson sent the jury out to deliberate on Thursday.
