Lincoln Cathedral Chancellor denies indecent assault

Further to our report last week detailing how the Rev Canon Dr Paul Overend stands accused of an historic indecent assault on a student, his defence team have told Lincoln Magistrates Court that he denies the charge.

Overend, 53, of Vicars Court, is accused of grabbing the student and accused also of kissing her. The offence is alleged to have taken place in 1997 during his time as a Chaplain.

He is currently on bail, and is due to stand trial at Cardiff Crown Court, where the offence is alleged to have taken place on 2 January 2020.
