The trial of a 21-year-old Colchester man accused of sexual assault following two incidents in the town has been adjourned until July to allow a psychiatric report to be obtained on him.
Before Ipswich Crown Court on Tuesday (January 24) was Jolomi Nanna, of Lethe Grove, Colchester, who faces charges relating to seven women.
At an earlier hearing, he pleaded not guilty to four offences of stalking, three of sexual assault, one of outraging public decency, one of common assault and a single charge of exposure.
The offences are alleged to have been committed in Middlewick Close, Colchester, and the Corporal Budd VC Gym, in Berechurch Road, Colchester, in February last year.
Nanna’s trial was due to have got underway at Ipswich Crown Court on Tuesday but Judge David Pugh adjourned it until July 3 to allow a psychiatric report to be prepared on him.
A further case management hearing will take place on March 3
