A man accused of a string of sex offences dating back to 1992 has denied the charges in court this afternoon.

Delroy Grant, from Brockley, is accused of being the notorious "Night Stalker" who targeted the elderly across south London, with many of the alleged attacks taking place in Shirley and Addiscombe.

Grant has pleaded not guilty to three counts of rape, one of attempted rape, 16 counts of burglary, two counts of attempted burglary, six counts of indecent assault and one count of sexual assault.

The 52-year-old has appeared at the Old Bailey this afternoon.

His trial has been scheduled for March 1, 2011 at Woolwich Crown Court.
