The trial of a man accused of 20 historic sex offences against boys and
girls has been delayed by seven months.
Raymond Rowland (60), of West Street, Pontefract, was due to go on trial
on Monday (18) at Sheffield Crown Court – but the three-week trial has
been adjourned until October 14.
Rowland, formerly of Mexborough, denies 13 indecent assaults, five
counts of buggery, one count of attempted rape and one count of gross
indecency with a child in the 1970s and 1980s.
The majority of the charges relate to alleged offending in Rotherham,
but also include Cambridge, Wakefield and Rhyl.
The Recorder of Sheffield, Judge Jeremy Richardson QC, granted Rowland
unconditional bail and he will next appear at the court on June 7.
