THE MAN behind the infamous Willy Wonka experience event has been accused of rape.
William 'Billy' Coull, 36, appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court from custody where he also faces a separate allegation of sexual assault.
Coull, of the city's Knightswood, made no plea to both charges during a private hearing.
Coull was the organiser of the Willy Wonka experience in which families forked out £35 a ticket earlier this year at a warehouse in the city's Whiteinch.

The event which went viral on social media was described as disastrous, ill-prepared and shoddy.
Coull was forced to shut the event down amid claims that the event left children in tears.
Coull was granted bail by Sheriff Gerard Bonnar and committed for further examination after appearing in the dock.
His next court date for these matters is to be determined.
