SEX ASSAULT CHARGE STAYED AGAINST ILL BRITISH SAILOR

The Crown has stayed a sexual assault charge against a seriously ill British sailor, but the trial of his co-accused continued Monday in Halifax. Simon Radford and Darren Smalley were charged with sexual assault causing bodily harm and participating in a group sexual assault in barracks at 12 Wing Shearwater on April 10, 2015. The trial had been delayed multiple times because Radford is in hospital with a serious infection. He returned to the U.K. for treatment following the last adjournment earlier this month.
