Historic allegations come to trial

Monday 07 October 2019


The Royal Court trial of a man accused of a number of historic sexual offences is due to start today.

He is facing ten charges which include indecently assaulting a child, rape, and gross indecency towards a child.

He has denied the offences, which are alleged to have been committed against four young people. 

The defendant is now 75 years old while two of the alleged victims are still juveniles. 

Guernsey's Jurats will begin hearing the case against him today, in a trial expected to last four days.
