She also confirmed to chair of the bench Stephen Harrison that she understood her bail conditions.
James has not entered a plea to any of the charges against her and she will next appear at Salisbury crown court on August 7.
Mr Harrison explained: ‘By virtue of three of these offences being indictable only, which means they can only be heard in the crown court, we will be sending them to the crown court.
‘The other 10 offences are associated offences and therefore will be included in the hearing to be heard in front of the crown court.
‘The next phase is to attend for a plea and trial preparation hearing which is going to take place at Salisbury Crown Court on August 7.
‘In between now and August 7, you are granted bail with conditions.
‘If you don’t turn up to court at that appointed date and time, you may be committing an offence.
‘You are not to have direct or indirect contact with the three complainants in this matter.
‘You are not to have any unsupervised contact with any child or young person under the age of 16.’
