During a short hearing at Workington Magistrates Court, Cumbria, the case was committed to Carlisle Crown Court, scheduled for 17 August, 2018. No plea was entered during the hearing.

The matter remains subject to active court proceedings so ONR cannot comment any further at this stage for legal reasons.
