A judge has criticised police who failed to find an interpreter so a Romanian man could follow a court case where he is accused of attempted rape. Mihai Vasille Ciprian, 25, was brought to the cells at Nottingham Magistrates' Court but language difficulties meant he would not have been able to follow his hearing.His defence solicitor Jenny Gerrard was unable to interview him in preparation for a hearing, which would have decided whether he should be freed on bail.The lack of an interpreter also.
