A woman has appeared in court over a string of sexual offences against a young boy aged between six and 11 almost 50 years ago. 

Susan Ball, 76, pleaded not guilty to four counts of indecent assault said to have occurred on more than 20 separate occasions.  

Norwich Crown Court heard the offences are said to have taken place between 1976 and 1982 and the victim is now aged in his 50s.

Ball, of Albemarle Road in Norwich, was given conditional bail pending a further hearing on May 30.
