Serving police officer faces trial over alleged assault on dad and child

A serving Greater Manchester Police officer is set to stand trial accused of assaulting a dad and his daughter.

Paul Cleasby appeared before a district judge at Liverpool Magistrates Court this morning accused of two counts of assault by beating. The 34 year old, of Middleton, Greater Manchester, is charged with two counts of assault by beating linked to an incident while he was on duty.

Prosecutors say Cleasby was responding to a domestic incident in Oldham on November 18 last year when he assaulted a man and his daughter, who cannot be named for legal reasons, in their home.
