AN 80-year-old grandfather accused of a string of sex offences against young girls has told a jury none of the allegations against him are true.
John Drury is said to have indecently assaulted eight girls while they played at his Colchester home during the early 1990s.
But the pensioner took to the stand at Chelmsford Crown Court yesterday to deny the claims.
Martyn Levett, defending, listed numerous allegations, which Drury repeatedly denied.
Drury, of Cambridge Road, told the court he had played various games with youngsters including hide and seek but denied any wrongdoing.
In police interviews, Drury said: “I may have invited children to my house and done some silly things but I have never had sex with children.”
He added he realised it was a “bit unusual” for a man of his age to run around playing games with children but said they had insisted he joined in.
Mr Levett recalled an allegation that Drury had got one girl on his bed before removing her clothes and indecently assaulting her.
He said: “Is there any truth in that?” and the pensioner replied: “No, there is no truth in that.”
Mr Levett put another allegation to Drury, made by another girl, that the former insurance salesman had been in bed with her, pulled her top up, kissed her lips and pushed his tongue into her mouth and licked her nipples.
Mr Levett said: “Did you do that to her?” And again, Drury replied “no”.
Drury told the court that, at the time of the alleged incidents, his wheelchair bound wife, Christine, and a lodger who did not go out to work, had both been at the six-bedroom house but had not reported anything amiss.
Drury said the youngsters who he is accused of abusing also returned to his home after the alleged incidents.
Previously the court heard how Drury told one of the girls pornographic tales about princesses and knights having sex.
It was said Drury, who was said to be a “trusted” and “respected” member of the Jehovah's Witness Church, would invite young girls to his luxury home with a large garden, pond and miniature train set.
Drury is charged with 12 counts of indecent assault of a girl and two of indecency with a child under 14.
The trial continues.---------------------------------------

A JEHOVAH'S Witness who lured vulnerable young girls into his life before carrying out a series of sex attacks has been jailed for four years.
Pensioner John Drury had denied the abuses, carried out in the early 1990s, but was found guilty on 13 out of 14 counts at Chelmsford Crown Court yesterday.
The 80-year-old, who sat listening through a hearing loop, showed little emotion as the foreman of the jury returned the verdicts.
The former RAF man befriended the families of the girls, winning their trust, before inviting the youngsters to his six-bedroom luxury home in the Lexden area of Colchester where he allowed them to run wild before abusing them.
The trial had heard how Drury, of Cambridge Road, had attacked the girls as they played innocent children's games such as hide and seek.
The offences were committed between 1993 and 1996 on eight young girls.
Sentencing Drury, Judge David Turner QC, said the pensioner had lured the children and their families into a false sense of security with his friendly behaviour before attacking the youngsters.
He added: “Few if any children simply bounce back from the sort of abuses you have put these victims through.
“You have lied and lied in the course of this trial and shown no remorse or regret.”
He said he was sure Drury, who had no previous convictions, had in other ways lived a decent life.
However, he said: “There is, I feel, a dark side to your personality which has made you behave in a perverted way and that must be punished.”
Drury had denied 12 counts of indecent assault, but was convicted on 11 of them, and two of indecency with a child under 14 - both of which resulted in guilty verdicts.
He was sentenced to between 8 months and four years on each of the 13 guilty counts, with the sentences to run concurrently.
Judge Turner said told him he would have to serve at least half of the term before the possibility of parole and was placed on the sex offenders' register for the rest of his life.
Speaking afterwards, officer on the case Detective Constable Charles Cadwallader , said: “People should understand if they abuse children in Essex there will be no escape from justice - it might take weeks, it might take months, in this case it has taken 14 years and the man is now 80, approaching 81. “I think it is fair to say the police will pursue these people until justice is seen to be done.”
DC Cadwallader, a member of Essex Police's child abuse investigation unit, also paid tribute to Drury's victims who braved court to give evidence against the paedophile.
He said: “It is fair to say some of the victims have been quite traumatised by the whole thing - it has affected their lives and relationships, but throughout the trial they have shown great poise and dignity.”What do you think?

I think stories like this make JWD appear sensationalistic and cheap. It doesn't matter if that 80 year old grandfather is a Witness. a Baptist,a Catholic, or whatever religion. This old guy needs help, not condemnation. Shame on you.

Uhh, tigerman? It most certainly DOES matter. The JW"s have a looonnggg history of covering up for pedophiles. And, he DOES need condemnation. Once you start having sex with children, the only "help" that is needed is life imprisonment.
What about the lives of those kids he RUINED? I think they are in far greater need of "help" thatn a dirty old son-of-a-bitch that was more than old enough to know what he was doing is wrong.
