Lady Lavinia Nourse, of Newmarket in Suffolk, was married to Sir Martin Nourse, who died in 2017 aged 85. The charges, which all relate to the same male complainant, are five counts of indecently assaulting a boy and 12 counts of indecency with a child. Jennifer Knight QC, prosecuting, said the boy had "never told anyone" about what Lady Lavinia allegedly did to him. She said that, years later, after the complainant got married and had children, he "became increasingly troubled by his recollection".
