Isle Of Wight Man Appears In Court On Fort Victoria Child Rape Charge

A Freshwater man accused of raping a three-year-old girl at Fort Victoria Country Park, Yarmouth will appear at the Isle of Wight Crown Court next month (October).

Graham Medway, of no fixed address, entered no plea as he appeared before Southampton Magistrates this morning (Thursday).

The 62-year-old has been charged with the "intentional penetration of the mouth of a girl with his penis on the Isle of Wight."

Mr Medway has been remanded in custody for "fear of committing further offences", the court heard. It was acknowledged that he may be a "flight risk". 

No application has been made for bail.

The court heard how threats have been made to Mr Medway's family and a property has been targeted in light of the allegations.

He is due to appear at the Isle of Wight Crown Court on October 26.
