Sat in the public gallery to support the 18-year-old professional was PNE director Peter Ridsdale. Although bail was opposed by prosecutor Antonia Walters, Cross-Adair's solicitor Mitch Sarangi put forward a series of bail conditions put forward by and with the support of PNE bosses.Cross-Adair, who is a boyhood supporter of PNE, has been training with the senior side since September last year.
Magistrates granted Cross-Adair bail with conditions including not to enter Longridge, to reside at his grandparent's address in Waingate, Grimsargh, not to contact the victim or any witnesses and to attend club training six days a week. Cross-Adair will next appear at Preston Crown Court on June 30 for a plea and trial preparation hearing.
