At Oxford Crown Court on Thursday (December 21), Walker was due to be arraigned.

However, he was unrepresented due to his plans to get the case dismissed.

Speaking from the dock, he said: “I was moving for a dismissal of this case today if possible based on inaccurate evidence of what the other person said.

“I don’t want to waste the court’s time, yeah, it’s just there’s various things of what has been said, like the vehicle and my presence…I didn’t have that vehicle. [sic]”

Judge John Bate-Williams advised Walker, who has recently been ‘volunteering in Egypt’, that he should seek legal representation, especially if he wishes to make an application to dismiss.

“You would need to put a formal request,” he said.

“Put in writing what your submission is.

"You would be entitled to legal aid, it would be useful to try and get some representation.”

After the case was adjourned until January 11, Walker said: “I’m sorry, it’s all been a bit of a kerfuffle [sic].”
