Joseph Marshall bailed
A former senior staff member at a Douglas children's home has denied indecently assaulting boys there.
Eighty-two-year-old Joseph Marshall, of Sartfell Road in Douglas, pleaded not guilty to five indecent assaults on three boys at Knottfield between 1974 and 1982.
Mr Marshall is also accused of gross indecency and a further serious sexual offence, but did not enter pleas to those charges.
He was bailed until his next appearance at Douglas courthouse, which is scheduled for 18 December.
