Twenty-six people have now appeared in court in Birmingham charged with historical child sex offences.
Published
All 26, aged between 20 and 69, appeared at Birmingham Magistrates Court on Monday and Tuesday.
The offences date back to between 2008 and 2016.
The hearings were conducted in line with social distancing because of the number of defendants charged.
The first 13 defendants who appeared on Monday were conditionally bailed by district judge David Robinson to appear at Wolverhampton Crown Court on July 13, when they are set to enter pleas.
