A former BBC presenter said he "strenuously denies" sexual offences against children, claiming his links to the corporation attracted undue attention.
Michael Souter, 59, of Loddon, Norfolk, has been charged with 18 offences relating to boys, plus an offence against a man and one against a woman.
The charges relate to six different boys, including under-14s, and two adults and include serious sexual offences and indecent assault. The alleged offences date between 1979 and 1999 and happened in Norfolk.
