The case against a 20-year-old man accused of attempting to rape an 11-year-old girl has adjourned for October 14 to allow investigations to complete.
Prosecution told court yesterday it will amend the attempt rape charge to indecent act in the next mention date once investigation is complete.
Outstanding documents yet to be collected include photo of the crime scene and few additional statements.
Police alleged on August 20 the complainant, her brother, her aunt and uncle and their children and the defendant where at the uncle’s house having dinner.
After dinner, they watched a movie on the defendant’s phone.
While watching the movie, the victim fell asleep.
Her brother woke her telling her to go and sleep upstairs inside the house.
The complainant got up and left them, but instead of going inside the house she went and laid on a hammock under the house.
It is alleged that while she was sleeping the defendant came and committed sexual activities on her.
When the victim tried to wake up the defendant gave a bite on the left side of her neck injuring her.
The matter was later reported to police and the defendant was arrested.
Irene Mae of Office of Director of Public Prosecution appears for the crown.
