 BY IAN CROUCH

A man is due to front court today (Wednesday 29 November, 2023) accused of assaulting a woman at Scone.

Police were called to Waverley Street in the early hours of Sunday morning following reports an 18-year-old woman had been followed and assaulted by a man before she was able to escape and run home.

Officers searched a home on St Aubins Street on Tuesday and seized several items for forensic analysis.

They also arrested a 26-year-old man and charged him with sexual touching, common assault, choking and intimidation.

He's been refused bail to face Singleton Local Court today.
