Former double world darts champion Ted Hankey has been charged with sexual assault.
Cheshire Police said the charge related to an alleged assault of a woman in the county in September 2021.
He has been released on bail and will appear at Warrington Magistrates’ Court on 6 April.
Hankey, 54, whose nickname is “The Count”, won the BDO championship in 2000 and 2009 but his career faded away in recent years.
His last appearance in the now-defunct tournament was 2016 and in December he announced he was withdrawing from the World Seniors Darts Championship.
