A man from Bulwell is due to appear in front of magistrates following a lengthy investigation into multiple reports of non-recent sexual offences.

After receiving reports of multiple people being sexually assaulted, dating as far back as the 1990s, a team of detectives launched a detailed investigation into the allegations.

Francis Marriott, aged 46, of Newmarket Road, Bulwell, has now been charged with two counts of rape and two counts of causing or inciting a child under 13 to engage in sexual activity.
