A 32-year-old man has denied an allegation of sexual assault.

He cannot be named, unless convicted, due to anonymity laws in the Isle of Man.

The male is accused of committing the offence while working with the defendant as a cleaner on June 1.

He is alleged to have put her arm behind her back, pulled her hair, and tried to kiss her.

A pre-trial review will be held in summary court on January 30.

Bail continues in the sum of £500, with conditions to reside at his home address, not to contact witnesses, and not to leave the island without court consent.
