A TEENAGER has appeared before Burnley Magistrates' Court charged with sexually touching an eight-year-old girl.
The boy, who was 15 at the time of the alleged offences, is also accused of two counts of sexual penetration.
The youngster, who cannot be named for legal reasons and is now 16, is set to face a trial later this year.
