Bob Lloyd, 43, from Wrexham, was charged with 11 offences, including three of rape, dating back to 1991 and 1992 on one teenage girl.

He was also accused of seven offences of indecent assault on two girls aged under 16 and under 14, and of physically assaulting one girl.

The charges do not involve any members of his own family.

Mr Lloyd was bailed on condition that he lives at an address in Rhyl.

He has been banned from entering the Wrexham County Borough Council area and must not approach prosecution witnesses.

Defending solicitor Cath Jagger said Mr Lloyd "strenuously denies" the allegations.

She opposed the bail condition not to enter the Wrexham county and said her client had a partner and three children whom he wished to see.

She added that he also needed to go to Wrexham to collect his sickness benefits.

But Crown prosecutor Huw Edwards said that bail conditions were often inconvenient and that arrangements would have to be made.

Magistrates bailed Mr Lloyd to appear at a preliminary hearing at Mold Crown Court in August.

Mr Lloyd and his family were thrust into the media spotlight when Rachael failed to return home from a holiday in Turkey after starting a relationship with barman Mehmet Ocak, 24, when she was 14-years old.

She reportedly got engaged to him and then returned home before returning with her father to give evidence in support of Ocak at his trial for statutory rape of a minor, which saw him imprisoned for five years.

At the time, Rachael's father said they would be returning again to Turkey to help the waiter in his appeal against his sentence.
