McDowall and Evison appeared at Lincoln Magistrates’ Court last Thursday (June 30).
No pleas were entered, and due to the severity of the charges the two defendants were sent to face jury trials at Lincoln Crown Court, where they are due to appear on July 28.
The two defendants were granted conditional bail, and are prohibited from contacting one another, or any of the alleged victims.
