14.—(1) This section applies when a person is alleged to have committed 2 or more acts —
(a)
each of which is an offence under the same provision in Part 2;
(b)
that involve the same computer; and
(c)
that are committed in a period that does not exceed 12 months.
[22/2017]
(2) Despite section 124 of the Criminal Procedure Code 2010, it is sufficient for the charge in respect of those acts to specify, without specifying the exact dates the acts are committed —
(a)
particulars of that computer; and
(b)
the dates between which the acts are alleged to have been committed.
[22/2017]
(3) A charge framed in accordance with subsection (2) is treated as a charge of one offence.
[22/2017]
(4) If the particulars mentioned in subsection (2)(a) and (b) do not give the accused sufficient notice of what the accused is charged with, then the charge must also give details of how the alleged offence was committed as will be sufficient for that purpose.
