A 19-year-old woman, from Wakefield, who is accused of posting Facebook messages encouraging rioting will go on trial later this month.

Hollie Bentley, from West Yorkshire, was arrested after she allegedly posted messages on the social networking site on August 9.

She appeared at Leeds Crown Court on Wednesday and pleaded not guilty to creating an event - "Wakey Riot'' - on Facebook intending to encourage violent disorder.

The Recorder of Leeds, Judge Peter Collier, gave her unconditional bail and told her she will go on trial on November 28.
