A man charged with raping a boy and assaulting two other boys over a period of seven years has appeared at Oxford's Crown Court for trial.

Graham Cairns, 41, of Salford, near Chipping Norton, denies 12 allegations against him relating to alleged incidents between 1984 and 1991.

He denies raping a boy when he was 10 or 11 and 12. He also denies an attempted rape when the boy was aged between nine and 12.

The trial continues.
