George Watts, of Pensby Avenue in Upton, has been charged with three counts of sexual assault and one count of attempted sexual assault.

The charges arise following a police appeal for information regarding an incident on Wednesday, July 11 when a woman was walking along Bache Drive when a man caught up with her from behind and inappropriately touched her.

George Watts will appear at Crewe Magistrates Court this morning (July 25).
