A 48-year-old man has appeared in court accused of a serious sex attack on a teenager in Swansea, South Wales Police said today.

He was arrested in Kent on February 2 after a police appeal following the incident.

The 18-year-old victim was allegedly assaulted just before midnight on Thursday, January 26, after getting into a car and being driven to The Strand. The woman got out of the car on nearby Castle Street at around 12.25am.

The suspect was charged with two serious sexual assaults and appeared at Swansea Magistrates’ Court on Saturday.

He was remanded in custody to appear at Swansea Crown Court at a later date, South Wales Police said.
