THE trial for a pensioner accused of indecently assaulting young girls in the 1980s has been adjourned until next week.

David Tilley, 77, is currently on trial at Oxford Crown Court charged with 11 counts of indecent assault on a girl under the age of 14 and two counts of gross indecency.

He allegedly assaulted four young girls, who are now adults, all of whom cannot be named for legal reasons.

Tilley, of Faringdon, has denied the offences and his defence case is due to start on Monday (July 22).

The case has been adjourned from Thursday afternoon until next week due to other matters that need to be dealt with in the court.

Tilley is next to potentially take the stand and give evidence.
