Wigan man accused of historical child sex offences has another 10-month wait before his trial

Glen Stone, of Duncan Place, Worsley Hall, has already appeared before a Bolton Crown Court judge to plead not guilty to four counts of indecently assaulting girls under the age of 14 between October 1978 and July 1988.

Two of the charges both allege that the named females were attacked no fewer than 10 times each.

A trial lasting five to seven days was to have begun in late February this year but was first adjourned until November 7 and, following a new hearing, has been further postponed until September 11 2023.

Stone is on conditional bail until then.
