breaking into her home will have to wait until the middle of January for the outcome of his trial.

Magistrate the Wor. Cheryl Ann Mapp adjourned the case to January 13 following three days of testimony which saw the accused and the woman differ sharply on events surrounding the alleged night-time attack.

Yesterday the woman who brought the charges against him finished her second day of testimony.

She alleged that on July 25 the man entered her apartment through a bathroom window, took off his pants, shoes and socks and got on her bed.

She said she was awakened by the man who was lying between her legs kissing and licking her.

In Police statements read out in court, the man said he had met the woman during visits to Oasis Night Club and Flanagan's Pub. On one occasion, he said, he walked her home.

It was during those meetings, the man said, that he became aware the woman frequently lost her keys and used a window to get in when she did.

He said the woman told him he could come up and see her anytime. In the early morning of July 25, he said he was doing just that.

But the woman denies ever meeting, talking or walking home with the man.

During her hour-long testimony yesterday she denied suggestions from the man's lawyer, Mr. Delroy Duncan, that she had ever walked home with the accused.

She said that from the end of May until the middle of July she was sharing her home with relatives and friends.

She added that her parents stayed with her from May 22 to June 8 and two friends stayed with her from June 15 to 29.

"From the end of June to mid-July I was housesitting with my girlfriend in Spanish Point,'' she said.

The woman also denied defence suggestions that the man had only tried to wake her up by touching her gently on the shoulder and that she murmured her consent to him when he suggested making her a cup of coffee.

"I never had instant coffee for a few months since my parents left at Christmas,'' she said. "I would not ask a stranger to work a coffee machine.'' Mr. Duncan questioned why the woman testified she was lying on top of her blankets when she admitted she turned off the air-conditioner in the apartment because it was too cold.

"It was cool,''she said. "But it was not cold enough to get under the covers because it was July.'' On January 13, Crown Counsel Mr. Stephen Harrison will finish the Crown's case after calling more Police Officers to testify.
