A MAN appeared before Bury magistrates accused of indecently assaulting a teenage girl.

David Allen, aged 45, has been accused of assaulting the girl when she was 13 and again when she was 17.

The case against Allen, of Market Street, Tottington, was adjourned after the Crown Prosecution said that checks needed to be carried out to decide whether or not the case should proceed any further.

He will now appear again in court on December 18. Bail was given.
