Corby man appears at court accused of child sex offences
He was granted bail
A Corby man was in court today (Wednesday) accused of sex crimes involving a young girl.
Gary Norman, of Shakespeare Way, was charged with causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity and engaging in sexual communication with a child.
The offences are alleged to have taken place in January last year.
Norman, 29, was due to enter a plea at Northampton Crown Court this morning but the case was unable to proceed.
Judge Rebecca Crane granted Norman, who represented himself in court, conditional bail ahead of his next hearing on July 15.
EDITOR'S NOTE: An earlier version of this story said "a paperwork mix-up by the Crown Prosecution Service meant the case was unable to proceed". The CPS has asked it to be made clear that this was not the case.
