The parents of the girl say there were occasions where she said the defendant had 'told her things about his private life' which they thought were 'not quite right for a young girl'. John Stringer is charged with a total of five offences - all of which he denies.
The girl's mother told the jury:"She would say that he'd said he wanted a girlfriend and that he missed his previous partner.
The court previously heard from Mr Wright who said the defendant's alleged abuse came to light after the girl made a disclosure to a teaching assistant at her primary school.Officers from the force then interviewed her on 15 July 2021.
