The 21 year-old man of No 43 was remanded until next Tuesday when he will appear in the Albion’s Magistrates’ Court.
Prosecutor Roberto Figueira told the Court that between July 1 and 31, the accused had carnal knowledge of the girl at various times at a house in Rose Hall Town .
The court was told that the man and the teen, who is a student at a secondary school in the town, were neighbours and had struck up a relationship and on various occasions he would take her to places where they would have sex.
On one such occasion, the Court heard that he took the teen to a house at Bloomfield, another village on the Corentyne Coast where neighbours became suspicious after they saw the man and the girl, who was clad in her uniform, in the house. They reported the matter.
Police responded promptly and arrested him. In his defense, the accused said that the young lady had told him she was 16 years old.
