MP to face first alleged victims in sex assault trial

Nigel Evans faces the first of his accusers at court this morning, in his trial on rape and sexual assault charges.

The MP is charged with nine offences against seven young men. The prosecution say the alleged offences happened between 2002 and 2013.

Jurors heard that the MP for Ribble Valley, and former Deputy Speaker of the Commons, used his "influence" to sexually assault others.

Evans denies all the charges.
