Trial for man accused of indecently assaulting child

40-year-old denies committing offence

A Douglas man will stand trial after being accused of indecently assaulting a 12-year-old child.

The 40-year-old, who can’t be named due to new anonymity laws brought in by Tynwald, appeared at Douglas Courthouse.

He denies committing the offence between 30 September last year and 1 January this year.

Committal proceedings – where the case is elevated to the Court of General Gaol Delivery – will take place on 3 October; bail was granted until that date.

 

Update: The man will next appear before the Court of General Gaol Delivery on 27 November.
