A man accused of performing oral sex on his stepdaughter denied the allegations when he appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court yesterday.
Allegations are that the complainant, who was sleeping in her bed, was awakened by a tingling feeling in her vagina. She woke up and saw the head of the 30-year-old accused on her vagina. She shouted at the accused and he allegedly ran from the room.
The attorney of the accused said that he denied all allegations and said that the charges were stemming from conflict in the household.
The Crown told the court that the 17-year-old complainant had told her mother that a similar incident had taken place prior to this charge.
Senior RM Glen Brown granted the accused $50,000 bail with surety to return on August 25. A condition of the bail of the accused is that he cannot reside at the same premises as the complainant.
