Corley, of Oaklands, Framingham Earl, near Poringland, has denied the offences which are said to have happened to a woman, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, between August 2020 and February 2021.

On Monday (June 26) a jury of seven men and five women were sworn in at Norwich Crown Court to try the case of Corley, who appeared in the dock wearing a stripy shirt.

Andrew Thompson, prosecuting, is set to open the prosecution case before Judge Andrew Shaw later today.

Michael Clare appears on behalf of Corley.
