A physiotherapist has denied sexually assaulting a woman at Withybush Hospital.
Judha David Samson-Manuel, of Finch Close, Haverfordwest, is alleged to have touched a woman in a sexual way without her consent in Withybush Hospital, Haverfordwest, in April 2018.
Samson-Manuel, 41, entered a not guilty plea when he appeared at Haverfordwest magistrates court on Tuesday, January 28.
Magistrates declined jurisdiction and Samson-Manuel will next appear at Swansea crown court on February 21.
He was released on unconditional bail.
An interim order was placed on Samson-Manuel by the Health and Care Professions Tribunal Service on January 21.
The order placed interim conditions, including prohibiting Samson-Manuel from undertaking any clinical duties involving direct contact with patients and from working alone with female colleagues.
A Hywel Dda Health Board spokesman said: “The Health Board is unable to comment on active legal proceedings involving a member of staff.”
