1. The defendant faces a total of 8 charges involving two complainants, “X” and “Y”. The defendant made an application for severance of counts 1 & 2 relating to “X” from counts 3 to 8 relating to “Y”, on the grounds that the prejudice to the defendant “could hardly be cured by directions given the nature of the two incidents and the defendant’s line of defence in each incident”, and that the two incidents do not involve common witnesses.
