A man accused of knowingly infecting a woman with HIV will face a court trial next year.
Jermaine Scott, 39, appeared at Chester Crown Court on Friday morning via videolink where he spoke to confirm his identity. Scott faces one charge of Section 20 assault causing grievous bodily harm (GBH) over an incident alleged to have occurred in Runcorn in 2009.
He was due to enter his plea on Friday but no arraignment was taken. Legal counsel and Judge Michael Leeming agreed on a provisional trial date of May 2, 2023, with a three-week estimate.
