In a case that has garnered significant attention, John Carter, a resident of Bolton Road in Aspull, appeared before Bolton Crown Court to face serious allegations related to sexual misconduct involving teenage boys. The 38-year-old man has been formally charged with multiple counts of sexual abuse, including two separate incidents involving a 14-year-old boy, one incident involving a 13-year-old boy, and an additional case of sexual touching of a 14-year-old boy in Lanzarote.

Furthermore, Carter is accused of engaging in sexual intercourse with a 14-year-old boy, a charge that adds a grave dimension to the allegations against him. The charges also include a count of supplying Diazepam to a minor, which raises concerns about drug facilitation in conjunction with the alleged abuse.

The court has also set a five-day trial to commence on July 29, during which the evidence will be examined in detail.

These allegations have shocked the local community in Aspull and beyond, highlighting the serious nature of the accusations and the importance of due process in ensuring justice is served. The case continues to develop as legal proceedings move forward, with both the prosecution and defense preparing for the upcoming trial.
