Yorkshire security consultant and businessman to stand trial on child sex charges

Christian Broxham, 40, appeared at Hull Crown Court on Friday to give pleas to three counts of sexual activity with a child.

He denied all charges, which relate to the same girl who was a teenager at the time of the alleged offences in 2018.

Broxham, now of Scarborough, was previously the director of a number of security companies based at addresses in Hull and Beverley which specialised in the fitting of alarm and CCTV systems. All have since been dissolved.

He will stand trial at the same court in January 2024, and was granted bail until then.
