A 33-year-old man is accused of raping a pensioner after dragging him along a fence and behind hoardings near St John’s church in Harrow, north London. The alleged assault happens around midnight on July 23 last year, after the victim is taken behind the church area and then attacked on a grass verge.

The report describes the incident as occurring near the church premises, with the pensioner being pulled past fencing and barriers before the rape. The available details focus on the location and timing of the alleged offences, but they do not provide information from other outlets in this set about police findings, court proceedings, or the defence’s position.
