The magistrates decided the allegations are so serious they must be heard at Preston Crown Court.Mineur was bailed until September 20 when he will be committed to the higher court.
Conditions of his bail means he must not access the Internet and he must have no unsupervised contact with any child aged under sixteen.
He only spoke to say he understood the charges he faces.
