A FORMER Ellesmere man, now of Shrewsbury, has denied a series of sex offences and will stand trial next year.

Kieran Bowers, 23 and of Avondale Drive in Shrewsbury, pleaded not guilty to three charges of making indecent photographs of children plus four counts of breaching a sexual harm prevention order (SHPO).

He is accused of making one category A image, two category B images and five category C images, all between April 10 and April 29 2023.

He is accused of four breaches of the SHPO, issued by Truro Crown Court in 2017, where he is alleged to have not informed his case officer of a device that could access the internet.

His trial, expected to last three days, will be on December 8, 2025.
