A man from Martlesham has denied eight sexual offences dating back to the 1960s and 1970s.

Frederick Budinger, of Pine Bank in Martlesham, appeared in the dock at Suffolk Magistrates’ Court on Thursday.

Budinger, who is 75, stands accused of eight offences allegedly committed in Ipswich.

The defendant has denied all eight offences.

Budinger is accused of three counts of indecent assault on a girl under the age of 16, which are alleged to have happened between 1968 and 1970.

He is also accused of two counts of indecent assault on a girl under the age of 14, allegedly between 1966 and 1968.

Budinger is also charged with one count of gross indecency with a girl under 14 and two counts of indecent assault on a woman over 16.

These also allegedly took place between 1966 and 1968.

Budinger will next appear before Ipswich Crown Court for a plea and trial preparation hearing on August 21.
