A MAN has gone on trial for alleged historic underage sex offences dating back to the 1980s. Keith Bloomfield, 64, allegedly started a sexual relationship with the then 14-year-old after he took her to a pub beer garden one day after picking her up in his car and asked to kiss her, Bournemouth Crown Court heard. The complainant is now 50. Bloomfield is accused of multiple sexual offences involving an underage girl in West Dorset between September 26, 1985 and May 11, 1987, which he denies. On the first day of the trial on Monday Gordon Ross, prosecuting, said the alleged victim, who cannot be named for legal reasons, is now 50 years old and that the six indictments Bloomfield is charged with happened when she was around 14-and-a-half or 15 years of age.
