A man will appear in court tomorrow accused with the sexual abuse of a child which spanned seven years.

Terrence Salisbury, 28, of St Chads Road, Tilbury, was committed to Snaresbrook Crown Court for a trial last week and has been remanded in custody.

The alleged abuse took place in Hornchurch between 1999 and 2006 and began when Mr Salisbury was aged 13.

He was appearing in court for breaking his bail conditions in relations to the charges.

The charges against Mr Salisbury are four counts of rape, five counts of indecent assault and two counts of intentionally penetrating the mouth of a child under 13.
