Joseph Marshall denies indecently assaulting boys
A former staff member at an Isle of Man children's home accused of indecently assaulting teenage boys will stand trial in January 2020.
Eighty-two-year-old Joseph Marshall denies seven charges of indecent assault against boys under the age of 16 at Knottfield during the 1970s and the 1980s.
The trial, set to begin on 6 January at Douglas courthouse, is expected to last eight days.
A final pre-trial review hearing will take place on 21 November.
Mr Marshall, of Sartfell Road in Douglas, held a senior position at the former care home, which has since closed.
