 with a child.

The alleged victim, now married and in his 20s, told a jury at Caernarfon Crown court how Wheeler, a former engineer at Wylfa, had assaulted him between the ages of seven and 15.

Wheeler told the court yesterday: "It didn't happen. So that's the end of it as far as I'm concerned."

Describing it as "an abusive relationship of a much older man on a young boy", prosecutor Simon Mills said the alleged victim had never given consent to the acts.

"Every time somebody does this to a child or young person even if there's nobody else there, there is a risk that some day they are going to tell," he said.

The case continues.
