A woman alleged to have sexually abused two children in the 1980s will stand trial in March.
Angela King, 49, is charged with 11 counts of historic sexual offences including indecent assault and gross indecency with a child.
King, of Fernhill Road, Bootle, is alleged to have committed the abuse against a boy and a girl, who were both under the age of 14 at the time.
The defendant, with long black and dyed red hair, appeared at Liverpool Crown Court this morning for a brief hearing.
King entered the court using a walking stick and wore a black coat with a furry hood in the dock.
She has pleaded not guilty to all 11 charges.
Louise McCloskey, prosecuting, said a trial had been set for March 7, which is expected to last two to three weeks.
The court heard King will be assisted during the trial by an intermediary.
Judge Brian Cummings, QC, remanded King on bail.
