Bramble denies sexual assaults

The Sunderland defender Titus Bramble
appeared in court yesterday to deny sexual
assault charges.
The 30-year-old is accused of indecently
touching two women in separate incidents
during a night out in Yarm, Teesside, on 28
September. Bramble appeared at Teesside
Crown Court for a plea and directions hearing.
In a brief hearing, he said "not guilty" after
each count was put to him.
