A man has been charged with possession of cocaine and grievous bodily harm with intent after a woman was badly assaulted in Essex.

Police launched an appeal in January to trace John Kalema, 26, of no fixed address, in connection with an attack in Elements nightclub in Clacton-on-Sea.

Lacey Knight, 21, suffered black eyes and multiple fractures to her cheek bones, nose and jaw during the incident at around 1am on Saturday, December 9.

Kalema is due to appear at Chelmsford Crown Court on Tuesday, April 4.
