Jersey 'abuse' case is adjourned

The home became the centre of a major investigation

A man charged with sexually assaulting boys at a former children's home on Jersey has appeared in court.

Michael Aubin, 45, appeared before Jersey magistrates, accused of sexually abusing three boys at Haut de la Garenne between 1977 and 1980.

Mr Aubin is one of two people charged in connection with abuse at Haut de la Garenne. One other person has been charged as part of a wider inquiry.

The case has been adjourned for a month by magistrates.

Mr Aubin is charged with two counts of indecent assault against a seven-year-old boy and a 13-year-old boy, and one count of serious sexual assault against an eight-year-old boy.
