A MAN accused of sexually assaulting a teenager at Runcorn Shopping City is set to stand trial.
Mahamat Goukouni, of Fenwick Lane, is charged with sexual assault on a teenager.
The allegation relates to an incident at The Box in Runcorn Shopping City on December 9, 2024.
According to court records, Goukouni, 28, is accused of intentionally touching the girl in a sexual manner when she did not consent and when he did not reasonably believe she was consenting.
The 28-year-old entered a not guilty plea when the case was heard at Chester Crown Court in October last year.
The court remanded Goukouni on conditional bail ahead of a trial due to begin on November 16.
As part of his bail conditions, Goukouni must not enter The Box at Runcorn Shopping City and must not have any unsupervised contact with children under the age of 16 unless approved by local social services.
He must also reside at his home address on Fenwick Lane.
The trial is expected to last three days.
