Two men involved in the running of an American-style summer camp have pleaded not guilty to charges involving children.

Ben Lewis and Tal Landsman, the co-founders of LL Camps in Bushey, Hertfordshire, appeared at St Albans Crown Court yesterday.

Both were arrested last summer by Hertfordshire Police.

Ben Lewis, 25, from Lullington Garth, Borehamwood, pleaded not guilty to two offences of making indecent photos of a child, two offences of making indecent photos of children, attempting to observe a person doing a private act and two offences of taking indecent photos of a child.

Tal Landsman, 25, of Crambus Court, Admiral Drive, Stevenage, pleaded not guilty to a single charge of cruelty to a person under 16.

Both men were granted conditional bail to await their trial, which is due to take place in May.
