The 73-year-old, of Bayswater in west London, is accused of assaulting the boys aged between 14 and 17, from 1970 and 1988.

Wearing a dark suit, and brightly coloured trainers, King - who followed proceedings with the aid of a hearing loop - spoke to enter pleas of not guilty to each of the counts that were put to him.
