A FORMER Shetland resident now living in Denmark faces a trial in the islands next month over allegations that he seriously sexually abused two children more than 30 years ago.

The alleged victims are a woman who would have been aged between five and 12 at the time, and a man who would have been aged between four and five.
No plea has been tendered and a trial has been set for 18 May in Lerwick Sheriff Court.
