New date for Elephant Man's rape trial

Dancehall artiste Elephant Man had his bail extended when his rape trial failed to get under way in the Home Circuit Court yesterday.

The trial could not begin because there was another court case taking place. As a result, the case has been rescheduled to February 8, 2016.

Elephant Man, whose real name is Oneil Bryan, was charged with rape in 2012 after being accused of sexually assaulting a woman at his Hillcrest Avenue home in St Andrew..
