THE trial of a man accused of sexual abusing four girls continues today.
As reported, Stuart Wilson, 52, of Cleethorpe Road Grimsby is accused of one count of rape, one of attempted rape, 16 counts of indecent assault and one of obtaining heroin.
Wilson denied the charges when the trial began on Monday.
Today, Craig Lowe, representing the defendant, will finish cross-examining the first witness, who claims Wilson indecently assaulted her when she was a child below the age of 14 and raped her when she was between 14 and 16.
Yesterday she told the court that she later suffered a miscarriage and "didn't want to live anymore".
She also claimed that after the alleged rape, she later went on to become addicted to heroin because it "shut everything out" and that Wilson gave her drugs and money in exchange for sex.
Today, the jury will hear the testimony of a second complainant.
