“The 14-year-old complainant is now 20… you’re asking someone to give evidence about something that happened eight years ago, more than half her life.”
This case is from 2020 and, with 11 trials listed in just 4 courtrooms at Northampton Crown Court on Monday, it’s had to be delayed again.

Bad luck is the reading - 42 ug. If it had been 39 or less the police wouldn't have charged him.

Top tip for budding court journos - don't wait for the case you went for. Go in and listen to the cases beforehand, you might just get a cracker.
I now have an exclusive with nowhere for it to go, when the others were waiting for the case to be called.
