A teenager has described how he was allegedly sexually touched by a Spalding pensioner.
Keith Amess, 77, is on trial at Lincoln Crown Court and denies eight sexual charges against three complainants, who can not be named to protect their anonymity.
Jurors were played a video of a police interview with a teenage boy who made sexual allegations against Amess in November 2024.
During the recording the complainant described how Amess kept trying to touch “my privates.”
“He kept touching me inappropriately,” the teenager alleged.
“I kept telling him to stop, but he wouldn’t.”
The teenager also described how Amess tried to pull his trousers down.
Giving evidence in court from behind a screen, the complainant said he did not report the incidents straight away as he was “too scared.”
The teenager denied a suggestion from defence barrister Jonathan Dunne that he exposed himself in front of Amess and that the pensioner may have touched him by accident.
Mr Dunne put it to the complainant that Amess had never deliberately touched him in a sexual way.
The teenager replied: “He has.”
Amess denies two charges of sexual activity with the teenager and a further two charges of inciting sexual activity with the same complainant.
The pensioner also faces one count of sexually assaulting another boy under 13, plus three charges of sexual assault on a female.
All the incidents are alleged to have taken place between June 30, 2023 and September 4, 2024.
Amess, of Hampton Close, Spalding, denies all the charges.
The trial continues.
