Steven Treadaway, 50, who holds private sessions as well as public readings at venues across the region, denies all ten charges against him.

He appeared at Norwich Crown Court on Wednesday, where he entered not guilty pleas.

He was told he will not face trial for almost two years.

The hearing was told that the sexual communication charges relate to messages in which Treadaway is said to have discussed lewd details of an encounter with one of the alleged victims.

All ten of the offences are said to have occurred between July 3, 2022, and July 6, 2022, in Great Yarmouth.

All the alleged victims were 15 at the time.

Clairvoyant Steven Treadaway Matthew McNiff, defending for Treadaway, said his client had been "advised about credit for an early guilty plea" but said the psychic, who lives on Regent Road in Yarmouth, maintains his innocence.

Recorder Turner set a date for Treadaway's trial, which could take a week or longer, for February 8, 2027, at Norwich Crown Court.

This week's hearing was his second court appearance in relation to the charges.

He appeared at Great Yarmouth Magistrates Court in March when he admitted possession of two grams of cocaine, and the sexual offence charges were passed on to be dealt with at the Crown Court.

Following that court appearance, he cancelled scheduled performances at the Toftwood Social Club, in Dereham, and the Hotel Wroxham.
