A BRAND new episode of the Oxford Mail's newest crime podcast is out now.

The Oxfordshire Court and Crime Podcast takes listeners behind the scenes of all the latest trials, sentences, and more taking place across Oxfordshire’s courts.

Each episode focuses on the biggest and latest trial heard in Oxfordshire as well as covering some highly-read sentences, plea hearings, inquests, and more.

The main focus of the latest episode is the trial of Anthony Stocks, who allegedly 'threw' a boy off a cliff in Brighton.

Stocks, of Iceni Close, Goring, is on trial at Oxford Crown Court accused of attempting to murder a 10-year-old boy after he tried to ‘intervene’ with Stocks allegedly assaulting an underage girl.

Reportedly, the 54-year-old wanted to ‘marry’ the girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, and had sexually assaulted her on several occasions in the early 2020s.

The boy, who also cannot be named for legal reasons, tried to stop the assaults, resulting in Stocks allegedly trying to kill the boy on one occasion and contemplating it on a second.

Stocks has been charged with six child sex offence charges and attempted murder - all of which he denies.

To listen to the newest episode of the podcast, head to Apple, Spotify, and more.

Fuming locals hit with £10k bill after breaking bizarre fence rule
Residents living by a picturesque marina have been ordered to pay £10,000 for a new fence - to stop them helping boat users with their shopping. People living in Albion Mill in Worcester have been banned from passing bags over the existing railings. To avoid a 20-minute walk carrying heavy bags, boat owners leave their shopping at metal railings on the opposite side of the pontoon where their boats are moored. They then walk around the apartments to access Diglis Marina and have their bags passed over the railings by kind-hearted Albion Mill residents. Apartment managers now plan to erect a 2m (6.5ft) high 35m (114ft) long fence to block off the pontoon after two people complained about boat owners trespassing. They say the current practice means boat owners access a private car park and say some people have been climbing over the metal railings. But furious residents claim they are being punished for helping boat owners.
