Medication probe in rape case

The behaviour of a Wigan man who raped a woman may have been affected by his medication, a court heard.

David Worgan, of Upper Dicconson Street, had been due for sentence on Friday after admitting two rape offences involving the woman on April 21 this year.

But Judge David Hale postponed sentence until later this month for further enquiries to be made into whether his change in medication may have affected his behaviour.

"This is an unusual case and I may take a highly unusual course," he said.

Worgan, 43, who also pleaded guilty to driving with excess alcohol, was further remanded on bail to await sentence on October 23 at Chester Crown Court.
