A 59-YEAR-OLD man due to appear in court today on four counts of having sex with a horse did not attend after being taken seriously ill.
Nottingham Crown Court heard how Peter Coulby collapsed at his Ilkeston home this morning.
Richard Posner, his defending barrister, told the court that his office had heard from Mr Coulby's family early this morning, to say he had been taken to the Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham from his home.
Coulby of Hillingdon Drive, was due to face charges of having intercourse with a living animal between February 1 and June 6 last year. The charges followed police being called to a property in Breaston Lane, Risley, on June 6.
Coulby was also due to face four counts of possessing extreme pornography on June 5.
