A PORT Seton man appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court today (Thursday), accused of sexually assaulting a teenage boy in a church.

Craig Raeburn, 52, is alleged to have sexually assaulted a 14-year-old boy at Cockenzie and Port Seton Old Parish Church in November 2015.

He is also alleged to have sexually assaulted a second 14-year-old boy at the accused's Seton Court home and in a vehicle on various occasions between February 2015 and February 2016.

It is also claimed that he attempted to contact one of his alleged victims through social media - despite being told not to during an earlier court appearance.

He is also charged with possessing indecent images of children at his home between November 1, 2012, and February 4, 2015.

Raeburn appeared in the dock at Edinburgh Sheriff Court and denied all the charges against him. He is due to return to court next week.
