That same day, he was accused of alleged attempted rape on October 22, 2021, the actual assault on the alleged December 2021 incident, and his control of behavior beginning in November 2018.
On 17 October 2022, although he had initially been detained until 21 November 2022, on 19 October 2022, after a private hearing at Minshull Street Crown Court he was later released on bail on October 19, 2022. He is scheduled to appear in court in November 2023.
