The offences are alleged to have taken place on May 27 and 28.

Prosecutor, Jim Mowbray, asked for the case to be heard at crown court and opposed bail.

Defence lawyer, Howard Green, said his client would not indicate pleas to the offences at that stage.

MacWhirter was refused bail and remanded in custody to appear at Preston Crown Court on June 27 by Blackpool magistrates.
