A man from Worcestershire is standing trial in Australia where he faces more than 30 child sex abuse charges.

Nigel Barnard, of Evesham, was due to appear at Melbourne County Court on Tuesday.

A total of 33 offences have been filed against Mr Barnard, from St Catherine's Road, who runs a fencing company.

The charges relate to two girls and are said to have been committed in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Mr Barnard was a teenager at the time.
