High-profile Collingwood fan Jeffrey Corfe will dispute allegations he sexually abused a child more than 16 years ago.
Mr Corfe, 61, who is known as “Joffa” after a long-term former association with the Magpies AFL club, appeared before Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Friday charged with two counts of sexual penetration of a child under 16.

Charge sheets allege Mr Corfe abused the child in Coburg on January 29, 2005.
But defence lawyer Louis Dean told magistrate Johanna Metcalf that his client disputed it was he who committed the alleged offences.
“It’s in issue, your honour, that Mr Corfe is the offender as described by the complainant,” Mr Dean said.
