Clarke Kenneth Scott Ramage, 49, of MacLaren Drive, appeared in Fredericton provincial court Monday along with defence counsel Spencer MacInnis, scheduled for a pre-trial conference.

Ramage pleaded not guilty last year to charges of sexual assault of a minor and of touching that same victim for a sexual purpose with his hands and penis while in a position of trust and/or authority over the child in Central Blissville between Aug. 1 and 31, 2024.
