Barry George, a 66-year-old man from Cork, is scheduled to face trial on allegations of rape dating to 1987. Both reports say George previously pleaded not guilty at Southwark Crown Court to one count of rape and two counts of indecent assault, and that he has been cleared of murdering TV presenter Jill Dando. One outlet notes that George was arrested on suspicion of Dando’s murder in 2000, a year after she was killed, and that the case on the murder charge has concluded in his favour. The current proceedings relate to separate offences alleged to have occurred in 1987. The reports do not provide further details about the alleged incident or the specific trial date beyond indicating that a trial date has been set. Overall, the coverage links George’s past legal history—his prior murder arrest and later acquittal—to the reappearance of court action over earlier allegations, with George maintaining not guilty pleas in the rape-related case.
