Some of the complainants were allegedly picked up by Morgan at Rotherham markets, the court heard.

The attacks are said to have taken place in his van, at a flat in Rawmarsh and at a caravan in Cleethorpes over a period of 27 years between between 1989 and 2016.

Morgan denies all 20 counts as well as having any sexual interest in men or boys.

The trial continues.
