Stacey was told the case would be sent straight to Plymouth Crown Court.

No plea was entered but Bill LaHive, for the 30-year-old, said the offence would be denied before a judge.

He was remanded in custody to appear at the senior court on October 1.

A second hearing has been earmarked for December 17.
