The St Catherine Parish Court is awaiting a ruling from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) in a case involving a man accused of breaking into a woman’s home and attempting to rape her in 2025.

The accused, 32-year-old Richard Taylor of Harker’s Hall district, St Catherine, is charged with housebreaking and attempted rape.

When the matter was mentioned on Friday, the prosecution advised that a response from the ODPP was still pending before the case could proceed.
