A man who has denied manslaughter after a fight in a north Norfolk village has been charged with more sexual offences against children.

Roland Wiles had been due to stand trial next month after denying charges involving 26 sexual offences against three complainants.

But Norwich Crown Court was told the 47-year-old, who is currently on remand at HMP Norwich, was arrested on August 18 in connection with further sexual assaults.

Prosecutor William Carter said he faced new charges related to a different girl who was aged eight at the time of the alleged offences. 

Judge Alice Robinson approved an application for his trial, due to begin on September 4 and last four weeks, to be so delisted so the sexual offences charges can be heard together when a new trial date is set.

Wiles, of Mill Street, Gimingham, also faces a separate trial in November having pleaded not guilty to having caused the death of 58-year-old Dale Jackson.

It follows reports of a fight on Station Road, Thorpe Market, near to the Suffield Arms restaurant, on September 17 last year.
