POOLE SPEEDWAY RIDER DARCY WARD ON SEX ASSAULT CHARGE

A speedway rider has appeared in court charged with sexually
assaulting a 17-year-old girl at a hotel in Dorset. Poole
Pirates' Darcy Ward, 19, is accused of assaulting the
Coventry teenager at a Premier Inn in Poole between 16 and
19 August.

A 17-year-old boy, from Swindon in Wiltshire, also appeared
charged with three counts of sexual assault and rape in
connection with the incident. The pair were bailed to appear
at Bournemouth Crown Court next week.

Club 'transparent'

Mr Ward's solicitor told the court that his client
categorically denied the charge and would fight the claims
"until the bitter end". The 19-year-old rider, from
Sturminster Marshall, Wimborne, Dorset, won the Speedway
Elite League Championship with Poole this year.

In a statement, Poole Pirates said: "[We] are aware of the
situation regarding one of (our) assets and have taken steps
to ensure that the rider is represented legally with the
best possible advice.

"The club will always remain transparent and will help with
any inquiries from the police should they arise. "However,
we would ask the public not to jump to conclusions and allow
the legal system to take its course."
