Kevin Norris, a 41-year-old man, appeared at Warwick Crown Court on Friday, August 7, facing prosecution for an alleged assault that occurred at a bar in Turkey. The case has drawn significant attention due to viral social media footage of the incident.
Not Guilty Plea Entered
During a 30-minute hearing, Norris entered a not guilty plea to a charge of assault occasioning actual bodily harm on Kerry Millerchip. The alleged attack took place on July 1, 2026, and the court was told that evidence includes CCTV and viral social media footage.
Prosecutor Simon Jones, appearing via video-link, stated that the Crown's case alleges the footage shows Ms Millerchip being 'effectively knocked unconscious' during the incident.
Court Proceedings and Bail Conditions
Judge Matthew Walsh ordered Norris to appear for a further hearing on November 11. Norris, who was bailed to an address in Nuneaton, Warwickshire, was given bail conditions including a residence requirement and a prohibition on contacting the alleged victim.
Trial Date Set
The defendant is expected to face trial in May 2028. The case has been listed for trial at Warwick Crown Court, with the prosecution relying on the viral footage as key evidence.
According to court records, the incident has sparked widespread online attention, but the court has not released further details about the circumstances of the alleged attack.
Norris's legal team has not yet commented publicly on the charges. The case continues to progress through the judicial system, with the next hearing scheduled for November.
