The charge relates to a reported incident at Runcorn Shopping City in December last year. The particulars of the charge allege that the 27-year-old committed the offence in The Box at Runcorn Shopping City against a teenage girl under the age of 18. Magistrates sent the case to Chester Crown Court for a plea and trial preparation hearing next month. Goukouni was granted conditional bail to appear before the crown court for this hearing on October 21. Bail conditions include him signing in weekly at a police station, as well as a ban on entering The Box in Runcorn Shopping City.
