A 66-year-old man from Holbeach has been charged with sexual touching.

Timothy Smith is accused of intentionally touching a woman over the age of 16 on the 9 May in circumstances where it is alleged she did not consent, and he did not reasonably believe she was consenting.

Smith has been bailed and is due to appear before Nottinghamshire Magistrates’ Court on the 3rd October.

He has since resigned from his volunteer role at Holbeach Police Station and as a cadet leader in Spalding.

Lincolnshire Police says the charge does not relate to any young person or anyone involved in the Volunteer Police Cadet programme.
