A MAN has been charged with historical sexual offences in Runcorn including three counts of rape.
The 49-year-old, of no fixed abode, was due to appear at North Cheshire Magistrates Court this afternoon.
The charges relate to three victims who were aged under 16 at the time of offences which date back to between 1982 and 1995.
Cheshire Police take all allegations of sexual abuse seriously and would encourage anyone who has been a victim to contact police on 101.
The force has a Dedicated Rape Unit with specialist officers to provide support for victims.
