A 53-year-old man has denied sexually assaulting a woman at his Chingford home. 

Ramadan Yusein is accused of touching a woman without her consent at his address in Bateman Road on March 16. 

Yusein, a Bulgarian national, was joined by an interpreter during a hearing at Thames Magistrates Court yesterday, where he pleaded not guilty to one count of sexual assault. 

The woman visited Yusein's home, where he is alleged to have groped her breasts and attempted to remove her clothing after taking her to a bedroom. 

Yusein has been released on conditional bail and told not to contact the victim as he awaits trial at Snaresbrook Crown Court, with a preliminary hearing scheduled for October 28.
