A St Catherine man who allegedly broke into a house and sexually assaulted a teenager and then fell asleep was remanded when he appeared in court on Friday.
When the man appeared in the Spanish Resident Magistrate's Court last Friday, he was not represented.
He told Resident Magistrate Anmarie Nembhard that he was not sure if he had legal representation.
He was subsequently remanded until May 26, when the matter will again be mentioned.
Allegations are that on March 31, the complainant was at home when the accused, who is an acquaintance, broke in. After he entered it is said that he sexually assaulted the 13-year-old complainant.
He reportedly fell asleep after the criminal act.
He was caught by the child's mother who alerted the police.
The accused was taken into custody, and following an investigation he was charged with burglary and rape.
