A man has appeared in court charged with conspiring to commit female genital mutilation.

Emad Kaky is also accused of conspiracy to commit grievous bodily harm.

In addition, the 46-year-old faces a charge of using violence, threats or a form of coercion to cause the same alleged victim to enter into a marriage.

The offences were allegedly committed between January and September 2019, while he was living in Nottingham. He has since moved away.

Mr Kaky appeared at Nottingham Magistrates' Court, but the case was sent to Nottingham Crown Court, due to its seriousness.

He will appear at that court on 3 August, and has been given unconditional bail until then.
