The date has been set for the trial of a Swanscombe prison officer who had an allegedly corrupt relationship with a journalist from Sun.

Robert Norman, 53, of Milton Road, pleaded not guilty at the Old Bailey to conspiracy to commit misconduct in public office alongside journalist Stephen Moyes, 40, from New Malden, who also pleaded not guilty.

Their trial will begin on May 11 next year.

The charges are in connection with the Met's Operation Elveden which investigates allegedly corrupt relationships between public officials and journalists.

Norman, a prison officer at HMP Belmarsh, was arrested on June 11 last year. He was charged on April 16.

Moyes is a three-time British Press Awards winner from The Sun.
