Summary
Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court is due to hear a 12-week trial involving Graham Brougham and 12 other defendants over the alleged rape and sexual assault of an unconscious woman.
Brougham, 73, of Birtwistle Road in Rudheath, has previously pleaded not guilty to rape, conspiracy to commit rape and conspiracy to commit sexual assault.
The case is expected to be heard by a jury of 12 before Judge Maurice Greene.
Most of the other defendants are from Greater Manchester, with others from Derbyshire, Kent and Somerset; the alleged victim's partner cannot be named to protect her anonymity.
