Why was arrested
Giggs has been on leave from his role as manager of Wales since November 2020, when he was arrested at his Manchester home.
The former Manchester United star is accused of controlling and coercive behavior against his ex-girlfriend, Kate Greville, between August 2017 and November 2020.
He is also accused of assaulting Ms Greville and her younger sister Emma Greville at her home in Worsley, Greater Manchester, on 1 November 2020.
Giggs, 47, has denied the charges and pleaded not guilty to all charges.
His hearing was set for next Monday at Manchester Crown Court, but there is no courtroom available at the venue to take the case and it has now been pushed back by seven months.
On Tuesday, Judge Hilary Manley explained: “Unfortunately it has become necessary to clear this trial from the list.
Girlfriend
The allegation: In late July, a court heard that Ryan allegedly kicked his ex-girlfriend in the back and threw her naked out of a five-star hotel bedroom.
Ryan, who denied all three charges, spoke during the 33-minute hearing only to confirm his name and to file a non-guilty plea from Dockyard.
Lisa Roberts QC defended: ‘These are serious allegations, each of which has been challenged.’ The court also heard that a civil case was going on relating to the ownership of the dog of the couple.
In an earlier hearing at Manchester Magistrates’ Court, prosecutor Andrea Griffiths said the assault charge against Kate was an alleged domestic assault involving a ‘deliberate headbutt’, aggravated by the fact that Giggs was ‘into alcohol’.
