The charges all relate to the same complainant and the offences are alleged to have taken place between 2001 and 2003, when the defendant was not a police officer.

During this afternoon's hearing, Scott aged 50, stood in the dock wearing a dark suit, blue shirt and dark tie to enter three not-guilty pleas.

He was told he will go on trial in Sheffield on November 25, 2024.

South Yorkshire Police has said Scott worked as a response officer in Rotherham.
