Celebrity financial adviser Frank Cochran in court over rape charge
A celebrity financial adviser charged with rape and a string of other sexual offences, has appeared in court.
Frank Cochran, who runs Wolverhampton-based FSC Investments, attended Stafford Crown Court today where a date was fixed for his trial.
The 59-year-old, who lives in Church Eaton, Stafford, has previously denied a charge of rape, three sexual assaults, one count of harassment and a single accusation of coercive/controlling behaviour.
Cochran made his name by advising the rich and famous – including representing ex-Atomic Kitten star Kerry Katona.
As well as FSC Investment Services Limited, he is a director of Celebrity Financial Planning Limited and Floodlight Wealth Management Limited. His company claims to manage investments worth £100m.
In 2009, Celebrity Financial Planning Limited became the ‘official wealth management provider’ for Wolverhampton Wanderers’ employees, corporate clients and supporters. The deal ended several years ago, however.
Cochran will be tried at Stafford Crown Court on April 3 next year.
