Committal for Colby man accused of rape

30-year-old bailed until next court appearance

A Colby man has been committed to the Court of General Gaol Delivery after being accused of raping another man.  

Thirty-year-old Stuart James Lee Gawne, of Cronk-y-Dhooney, appeared at Douglas Courthouse. 

At an earlier hearing he'd denied committing the offence at a flat on North Quay in Douglas on 5 July last year.  

Bail was granted until his next appearance on a date to be fixed.
