The trial of a man charged with rape and three counts of indecent treatment of a child under the age of 16 was aborted in the District Court in Kingaroy today.
An objection was made by defence barrister Catherine Cuthbert during the opening address by the Crown.
This was upheld for legal reasons by Judge Greg Koppenol who then discharged the jury.
The trial will be relisted for the next sittings of the District Court in Kingaroy.
The defendant’s bail was continued.
