A 55-year-old man has appeared in court accused of dangerously driving his car and attempting to meet a 13-year-old girl he met online for sex.

Pervez Akhtar, of Lye, in the West Midlands, appeared at Leamington Magistrates’ Court to hear both charges put to him.

It is alleged that while behind the wheel of his Renault Megane he drove at another man and broke his leg during an incident in Cedar Road in Nuneaton, Warwickshire, on June 4 last year.

He is further accused on the same date of trying to meet a girl with the intention of engaging in sexual activity with her at Worcester, having communicated with her on at least two previous occasions on the online social networking site badoo.com

Akhtar indicated not guilty pleas to both charges and was unconditionally bailed to appear for a plea hearing at Warwick Crown Court on Friday May 23.
