A TEENAGER has been sent to the Crown Court accused of rape and a series of serious domestic abuse-related offences.
Jaydan Bell, aged 18, of Granby Close, Llanelli, appeared before Llanelli Magistrates’ Court on Monday (December 22) charged with three offences alleged to have taken place over a four-day period.
The court heard that Bell is accused of raping a woman aged 16 or over on Friday (December 20). He also faces an allegation of stalking, said to have occurred two days earlier, and a further charge of engaging in controlling or coercive behaviour within an intimate or family relationship.
The offences are alleged to have taken place between December 16 and December 20.
No pleas were entered at the hearing.
Magistrates ruled that the case was too serious to be dealt with at magistrates’ level and ordered that all three matters be sent to the Crown Court for trial.
Bell was remanded on conditional bail pending his next appearance.
The case will now proceed through the Crown Court, where the allegations will be considered by a judge and jury.
