101-yr-old from UK goes on trial on child sex abuse charges
A 101-year-old accused of child sex offences is thought to be the oldest defendant to stand trial in a British court. Birmingham-based Ralph Clarke allegedly committed 17 charges of indecent assault, 12 offences of indecency with a child and two attempted serious sexual offences between 1974-1983. He requires an intermediary during the proceedings, as he is hard of hearing.
