A MAN has appeared in court accused of trying to abduct a teenage girl.
Michael Samelak is alleged to have approached the 14-year-old as she walked along Rochford Way, in Frinton, near Tendring Technology College.
The alleged incident happened at about 10am on October 1.
Samelak, of Modlen Road, Walton, denied a charge of attempting to carry away the teenager when he appeared via prison video link at Chelmsford Crown Court on Monday.
A two-day trial will take place in early March.
There was no application for bail and Samelak was remanded in custody until then.
