The elderly couple who allegedly raped a 14-year-old girl in Nasinu in August last year have pleaded not guilty to the five consolidated charges of sexual assault against them in the Suva High Court this morning.
A 60-year-old man and his 60-year-old wife appeared before High Court Judge Justice Salesi Temo this morning.
The man is charged with two counts of rape, one count of indecently annoying any person and one count of sexual assault while the woman is charged with aiding and abetting the offence of rape.
The couple and the victim are neighbours.
The man has been remanded in custody while the woman has been released on bail.
Justice Temo has adjourned the matter to the 17th of next month.
