A 76-year-old man has appeared in court facing child cruelty charges after children fell ill at a summer camp in Leicestershire.
Jon Ruben was arrested after eight children and one adult at the camp at Stathern Lodge, Stathern, were taken to hospital on Monday. All have since been discharged.
The 76-year-old appeared at Leicester Magistrates’ Court on Saturday charged with three counts of wilfully assaulting, ill-treating, neglecting, abandoning or exposing children in a manner likely to cause them unnecessary suffering or injury to health.
Mr Ruben was remanded in custody by chair of the magistrates Elizabeth Needham and told he will appear at Leicester Crown Court on 29 August.
The defendant, of Wayte Court, in Ruddington, Nottinghamshire, stood in the dock wearing a grey sweatshirt and spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth and address during the four-minute hearing.
He gave no indication of his pleas to the court.
