No details of the case were shared in court. Charge one accuses the defendant of attempting to sexually communicate with a person he believed to be under 16 between March 6 and March 30, 2023.

The second charge accuses Morrow of attempting to incite a child he believed to be under the age of 16 to engage in sexual activity between the same dates.

A Prosecutor said a decision has been taken to "prosecute Mr Morrow on indictment”. She asked for the case to be adjourned for four weeks to fix a Preliminary Enquiry date.

The case was adjourned until April 23 this year.
