A TRIAL which is part of the historical child abuse inquiry started in the Royal Court today.Claude James Donnelly, (69), faces charges of four counts of rape, nine counts of indecent assault and one count of procuring the commission of an act of gross indecency against one girl.
The alleged offences against her, which he denies, are said to have taken place between 1967 and 1973, when she was aged between eight and 14.
The case, which will be heard before an Assize jury, is not connected with the former children’s home, Haut de la Garenne.
