A primary school teacher accused of sexually touching 11 former pupils was never alone with children in the classroom, a court has heard.
James Oulton, 34, told Swansea Crown Court every class had at least one learning support assistant.
He denies 30 charges relating to his time at Mary Immaculate Catholic Primary School in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire between 2012 and 2018.
Council records showed Mr Oulton taught 673 pupils during his career.
Mr Oulton claimed evidence offered by the complainants that a learning support assistant (LSA) was not always present in the classroom was wrong.
