May 2015 Mid Wales man admits child sex charges A man from Mid Wales has admitted three charges of inciting a child aged under 13 to engage in sexual activity, a court has heard. But the 24-year-old has denied three alternative charges of rape. Judge Rhys Rowlands, sitting at Mold Crown Court, adjourned the case against defendant Kirk Mark Tranchard, of Tanygraig, Montgomery, who also admitted five charges of sexual activity with the girl when she was older. The defendant was ordered to register with the police as a sex offender in the meantime. Judge Rowlands said that the adjournment would give the prosecution time to decide whether to accept his pleas, after consulting with the complainant. If the pleas were accepted then a pre-sentence report would be prepared, the judge explained. Tranchard will appear back at the court on a date to be fixed.
