IT pioneer facing indecent assault charges

Mark Beaufort Loane, who set up C5 Alliance with a small team in 1998 and is widely regarded as a pioneer of Jersey’s digital economy, yesterday appeared in the Magistrate’s Court to answer charges in relation to allegedly sexually assaulting the girl over a six-year period.

The court heard that he recently resigned as chief executive of C5 – a major Channel Islands IT solutions firm which employs 170 people across Jersey and Guernsey.

During a short hearing, Mr Loane – a non-executive director of Digital Jersey – was told that his case is to be transferred to the Royal Court.
