A 23 year old was arrested last year as part of Operation Emerald.

He faces 10 charges including sexual violation and indecent assault against seven complainants between 2017 and 2020.

He has pleaded not guilty and is due back in court next month.

Police confirmed they are still looking at two other men.

A complaint about a separate man was investigated and no action taken.

A police spokesperson said during the course of the investigation police received 10 formal complaints and a further number of reports that did not proceed.
