He denies engaging in sexual activity with a child on various occasions between November 2013 and March 2014.
King further denies three charges of assault, all of which are said to have taken place between July 2010 and March 2014.
He denies assaulting a child on various occasions by punching the child on the head and body, kicking the child on the body and legs and throwing objects at the child, to the child’s injury.
