Powys man accused of rape several years ago to be dealt with at the crown court
A Llandrindod Wells man accused of rape several years ago, will appear at the crown court.
Ethan Mackintosh appeared at Llandrindod Wells Magistrates Court on Tuesday via an electronic link.
The 26 year-old of Park Crescent did not enter any pleas to four charges.
They include raping a woman 16 or over between August 1 2017 and November 30 2017, raping a woman 16 years or over between February 1 2018 and May 31 2018, raping a woman 16 years or over between October 1 2017 and August 30 2018 and raping a woman 16 years or over between January 1 2016 and November 30 2017.
The court clerk said the case could not be dealt with at the magistrates court and would have to be sent to the crown court.
Magistrates sent the case to Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court for a preliminary hearing on October 6.
Mr Mackintosh remains on unconditional bail until that date.
