A policeman accused of sexually assaulting a female colleague had his bail extended until January 24 when he appeared in the May Pen Resident Magistrate's Court yesterday.

He is Constable Dwayne Morrison from the Clarendon division who has been charged with indecent assault.

When the matter was mentioned, the prosecution told the court that it needed more time.

Allegations are that between July and August last year, the accused made sexual advances towards the woman constable while on patrols.

A report was made and the policeman was arrested and charged following investigations.

He is currently out on $500,000 bail.
