ALFRED Impicciatore, an alleged member of the Evil 8 paedophile network, will face a District Court trial in October.

Mr Impicciatore had been due to go on trial last month over accusations that he was involved in abuse of the daughter of a man who was being pimped out by her own father via online advertisements.

That trial had to be called off because Mr Impicciatore failed to attend court.

Today, his lawyer and prosecutors said three days would be needed for the scheduled hearing, which was listed for October 31.

His lawyer also flagged the probability of applying for the trial to be heard by judge alone.
