The charges allege that Davies displayed writing which was threatening, abusive or insulting towards Neelam Yusef, Ahsan Ahmed and Nadia Hussain.

Davies appeared briefly yesterday at Swansea Crown Court when legal arguments were heard.

Matters were adjourned until November 12.

Davies had his unconditional bail renewed.

Judge Huw Davies QC said: "This case will be adjourned for two weeks when it will be re-listed for a plea and case management hearing."
