Walter Klen, aged 60, originally from Brazil and currently residing on Eynsham Road in Farmoor, is facing 17 child sexual assault charges in Oxfordshire. These allegations date back approximately 20 years. Klen denies all charges, which include indecent assault, sexual assault, assault by penetration, attempted rape, and inciting a child to engage in sexual activity.
Klen moved to the United Kingdom in 2003 and is now on trial at Oxford Crown Court. The charges relate to two young girls. Fifteen of the offences concern a girl aged between 9 and 13 in Moreton-in-Marsh, with alleged incidents occurring between 2003 and 2007. The remaining two charges involve another girl, approximately 12 years old, in Chipping Norton in 2008.
The case involves multiple victims, with offences spanning several years and different locations within Oxfordshire. The allegations encompass a variety of serious sexual offences committed between 2003 and 2008.
The charges against Klen include indecent assault, sexual assault, assault by penetration, attempted rape, and causing or inciting sexual activity with children. Throughout the ongoing trial, Klen has vigorously denied all accusations.
The trial continues at Oxford Crown Court, where the prosecution is presenting evidence related to the historical abuse claims. As of now, no verdict has been reached.
Background information on the defendant reveals that Walter Klen relocated from Brazil to the UK in 2003 and has lived in Farmoor near Oxford since then. The alleged offences are said to have occurred shortly after his arrival in the UK.
