He was charged by police last month after allegations a 13-year-old girl was sexually abused by her father and other men.

Clegg was not required to plead to the charges and was released on bail until he appears in court again next month so he can apply for legal aid.

Eight men were charged with committing hundreds of offences against the 13-year-old girl, including aggravated sexual penetration and sexual servitude.

Perth police said 503 charges had been laid by the Child Abuse Squad against the men, who are aged between 35 and 47. The girl’s father is among those charged.

They said the girl’s father arranged for the men to meet his daughter at various locations where the offences were committed.
