WOODSTOCK/LONDON - A former Mayor of Woodstock is due back in court today.
Trevor Birtch will appear in a virtual London courtroom this morning, to answer to the sexual assault charges laid against him last year.
He's facing one count of assault and two counts of sexual assault in a case that first started making headlines in last February. Birtch is also facing three counts of sexual assault in a second case that first came to light in April 2022.
During his last court appearance, it was decided that one of the cases would be moving on to Superior Court on Tuesday March 21st. It involves alleged incidents that happened between June 1st, 2021 and September 30th, 2021.
The other case will be addressed today and Heart FM will be covering the court appearance.
Birtch served two terms as the Mayor of Woodstock. He was first elected in 2014 and was re-elected in 2018, but he placed fourth in the 2022 mayoral race.
