A Wigan man will appear in court after being charged with the rape of a woman nearly three years ago.

Nathan Owen, 21, of Market Street, Hindley, is accused of raping a woman aged 16 or over in Wigan on September 22, 2019.

He was just 18 years old at the time of the alleged offence.

Owen will make his first at Wigan and Leigh Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday morning.

Rape is an indictable offence, meaning it can only be dealt with at a crown court.
