Man Charged Over Shocking Attempted Rape of Teen
Gavin Bowler, 47, from Wheeler Avenue, has been hit with serious charges. He stands accused of attempting to rape a girl under 16 earlier this year. On top of that, he faces a separate count of assault by penetration involving the same victim.
Fast-Tracked to Swindon Crown Court
Bowler is set to appear at Swindon Magistrates’ Court tomorrow. Given the grave nature of the allegations, his case will be fast-tracked to Swindon Crown Court for plea and trial arrangements.
Victim’s Identity Strictly Protected
The teenage victim’s identity is legally shielded. Anyone leaking information that might reveal her identity faces criminal charges—and could end up behind bars.
