Jesse Lingard's grandfather, Kenneth Lingard, 86, is set for a retrial on charges of historic sexual abuse following a jury discharge. The complainant accused him of abuse from the age of five and reached out to Jesse Lingard after watching a documentary where he praised his grandfather's influence. Jesse, unaware of the allegations, provided testimony stating he would have severed ties had he known. The grandfather maintains his innocence, claiming the accusations are fabricated, and the retrial is scheduled for May 11 next year.
The jury in the trial of Kenneth Lingard, accused of historic sexual abuse, was discharged earlier this month, and a retrial is set for May 11 next year.
