Wirral man pleads not guilty to sex assault
Luke Cote, 42, to stand trial next year on charge alleged to have occurred in Durham Bridge
A Wirral man accused of sexually assaulting someone last summer denied the allegation Monday, and he was given a trial date in a year’s time.
Luke Cote, 42, of Sandbrook Road in Wirral, about 60 kilometres southeast of Fredericton, appeared in Fredericton provincial court Monday with his defence counsel, legal-aid staff lawyer Edward Derrah.
Cote faces an indictable charge of sexual assault, alleged to have occurred July 29 in Durham Bridge.
