Joao Coutinho, 50, of Widemarsh Common in Hereford has been charged with rape, engaging in sexual activity with a child, and inciting a child to engage in sexual activity.
The charges are in relation to a rape which took place in Hereford on Monday 17 April.
Coutinho appeared at Kidderminster Magistrates’ court this morning (Wednesday 19 April) and was remanded in custody to appear at Worcester Crown Court on Monday 15 May 2023.
Sheds housing nearly 200,000 broiler chickens at a Herefordshire farm are to be demolished and rebuilt to a higher standard.
A planning application by Avara Foods, one of the county’s largest employers, says the replacement sheds at Parkway Farm, Madley west of Hereford would have the same footprint as the current eight within the two-hectare site, and “will not result in any increase in floor area, bird numbers, or operational intensity”.
