A 63-YEAR-OLD Llangoedmor man is to stand trial accused of rape.

John Lewis Davies, of Pantgwyn Farm, appeared at Swansea crown court today for a plea and case management hearing.

He denied a single charge of raping a woman on January 24 last year.

Judge Geraint Walters laid down September 4 as the start date for his trial. Davies was granted bail meanwhile.
