Randolph Nedd was not required to plead to the charge which alleges that on January 28 he had carnal knowledge of a 13-year-old schoolgirl at Georgetown.
Nedd was represented by attorney-at-law Abiola Wong.
The matter was called to the bench where a discussion ensued between Acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson, the accused and his attorney, a relative of the girl, and Police Prosecutor, Inspector Stephen Telford.
Nedd is to return to Court 10 on February 19 for report.
