LONDON — The widower of British reality-TV star Jade Goody has appeared in court on a rape charge.

Police in London said they charged 22-year-old Jack Tweed after receiving a complaint from a woman. At a court hearing Saturday, he was ordered detained until a further appearance Sept. 21.

Tweed and Goody married in February, a month before her death at 27 from cervical cancer. Weeks later Tweed was jailed for 12 weeks for attacking a cabdriver. He has said he has struggled to cope with Goody’s death.

Goody was a brash former dental nurse who became famous in 2002 when she appeared on reality-TV show “Big Brother.” Her public life and death became a national soap opera.
