A MAN accused of sexually assaulting a child is set to appear at crown court next month. Nicolas Day, 24, will appeared at Colchester Magistrates’ Court on May 4. He is charged with sexual assault, two counts of engaging in sexual activity with a child and one count of causing a child to look at an image of sexual activity. The offences allegedly took place between 2014 and 2017. Day, of East Hill, Colchester, was released on unconditional bail until a hearing at Ipswich Crown Court on Tuesday, June 1. A MAN who assaulted two police officers has been ordered to pay compensation. Martin Shine, 43, admitted assaulting the police constables in Colchester in March.
Andrea Flauto touched two women inappropriately near to Flitch Way, in Dunmow, on June 1 last year. Flauto, now 24, approached his first victim while she was walking along a cycle path and talking on the phone. As she stopped to allow him to cycle past, he did not continue his journey. Instead, he stopped and sexually assaulted her. She was able to push him off and he got back onto his bike and continued cycling. Later, Flauto approached two women who were sitting on bench a short distance along the cycle track. He engaged in conversation with both women before leaning in uninvited and kissing one of them on the cheek.
