A TEENAGER is to go on trial later this year after he pleaded not guilty to counts of rape.

Simeon Greenaway-Robbins, 19, of Rectory Close, Caerphilly, denied the two charges before Judge Timothy Petts at a plea and trial preparation hearing.

Cardiff Crown Court heard there is one complainant in the case and the allegations relate to incidents in the Welsh capital in the autumn of 2020.
