A TEENAGER from a village near Thornbury is to face trial over three sexual offences.

Edward Slade, aged 18, of Village Road, Littleton upon Severn, is accused of three offences - rape, voyeurism and sexual assault.

The incidents of rape and sexual assault are alleged to have occurred on April 13, 2024 in Bristol.

The voyeurism offence relates to an allegation that Slade recorded a person engaging in a sexual act in a cinema in Bristol on March 30, 2024 without consent.

Slade pleaded not guilty to all charges at Bristol Crown Court on July 4 and was remanded on conditional bail.

He is next due at the same court on August 8, 2026. 

A six day trial is expected to start on September 9, 2026.
