The case against a man accused of a string of child sex offences has been transferred to crown court.
Dylan Seago, 27, of Alma Street, Hartlepool, is charged with raping a schoolgirl as well as seven sexual assaults.
No pleas were entered when the case was heard for the first time at Teesside Crown Court, in Middlesbrough, earlier this week.
Seago was granted unconditional bail to appear before a judge at nearby Teesside Crown Court at the end of the month.
