The Williams Bartlett pear (pictured above), commonly called the Williams pear in Australia or the Bartlett pear in the United States and Canada, is the most commonly grown variety of pear in most countries outside Asia.

The origins of this variety are uncertain. “Bon Chrétien” (Good Christian) is named after Francis of Paola, a holy man whom King Louis XI of France had called to his deathbed as a healer in 1483.

Francis offered the king a pear seed from his native Calabria with instructions to plant and care. Hence the pear tree was called The “Good Christian” Pear.

    Five other men, currently on bail, have also been charged with offences against 48-year-old Joanne Young, who waived her legal right to anonymity.

    The alleged offences took place between 2010 and 2023.

    The men were named by police as Norman Macksoni, 47, who has been charged with one count of rape and possession of extreme images; Dean Hamilton, also 47, who is facing one count of rape and sexual assault by penetration and two counts of sexual touching; 31-year-old Conner Sanderson Doyle, who has been charged with sexual assault by penetration and sexual touching; Richard Wilkins, 61, who faces one count of rape and sexual touching and Mohammed Hassan, 37, who has been charged with sexual touching.

    All six men are due to appear at Swindon Magistrates’ Court in southwest England on Tuesday.

    Geoff Smith, detective superintendent for Wiltshire police, described the charges as a “significant update” in a “complex and extensive investigation.”

    He added that Joanne Young was being supported by specially trained officers and made the decision to waive her automatic legal right to anonymity “following multiple discussions with officers and support services.”

    James Foster, a Crown Prosecution Service specialist prosecutor, added that the CPS had authorized the charges against the six men “following a police investigation into alleged serious sexual offences against Joanne Young over a period of 13 years.”

    “Our prosecutors have worked to establish that there is sufficient evidence to charge and that it is in the public interest to pursue criminal proceedings,” he said in a statement.

    “We have worked closely with Wiltshire Police as they carried out their investigation.”
