A 20-year-old man already under investigation for group child sexual exploitation has been charges with six further offences.

Iranian national Sina Omari, of Fishponds, appeared at Bristol Magistrates’ Court on Monday to face the new charges which include three counts of rape, one count of sexual assault and two counts of making an indecent image of a child.

These are in addition to 11 other similar offences, which he was charged with in November in relation to offences between 2022 and 2025.

Six other people were also charged at the same time with a range of sexual offences, including those involving children, and the supply of drugs.
