Cornelius Horan will stand trial on indecency charges in October

A former Irish priest who disrupted the men's Olympic marathon in Athens has appeared in court on two counts of indecently assaulting a child.
Cornelius Horan, 57, denies the offences, which are alleged to have taken place in the early 1990s.

A judge at Woolwich Crown Court ordered Mr Horan, of Howdery Road, Nunhead, south-east London, not to leave the postal district where he lives.

Mr Horan, who must report to police daily, will stand trial on October 25.

Bronze

The former priest, originally from Kerry, manhandled front-runner Brazilian Vanderli de Lima off the road in Sunday's marathon.

Mr De Lima carried on but dropped back and took the bronze medal.

Mr Horan, who said he had been highlighting "the second coming of Christ", later pledged never to carry out a similar stunt again.
