Children's Home Man Appears In Court

Tue, 23 Oct 2018

A former staff member at an Isle of Man children's home has denied indecently assaulting boys there.

Joseph Marshall from Douglas pleaded not guilty to five indecent assaults on three boys at Knottfield.

The assaults are alleged to have taken place between 1974 and 1982.

The 82-year-old is also accused of gross indecency and a further serious sexual offence, but did not enter pleas to those charges.

He was bailed and will appear again at Douglas Courthouse in December
