entered a woman's apartment intending to have sex.

Crown counsel Mr. Stephen Harrison told the man in Magistrates' Court that the reason he took his shoes off while in the apartment was because he was intending to have sex with her.

The man is charged with breaking into the home of a woman on July 25 last year and sexually assaulting her. He has denied the charges.

Last week the man told the court he had met and spoken to the woman on two occasions before the incident.

But in earlier testimony the woman told the court she had never met, talked or walked home with the man.

The man said he had spoken to the woman at a party and then again at Flanagan's Pub.

He said they talked for a while and then he decided to go home after he was unable to find his friends.

The man added that he walked her home after they discovered that she lived around the corner from him.

He also told the court that when they got to her house the woman asked him to come in for coffee but he told her that he had to go home.

Before he left, the man said the woman told him she may have lost her keys and if so, she would have to get into her apartment through the bathroom window.

The man said the next time he met the woman was on the night of the alleged incident.

He said that while walking home after going out, he stopped at the woman's apartment, wondering if she was home.

The man said he could see the woman laying fully dressed across her bed through the window.

Yesterday he told the court that after knocking on the door and hearing what he thought was a noise, he went around to the window and called out to the woman.

"The area was well lit when I looked through the window. She was laying across the bed facing the window, she raised her head and opened her eyes and said "through the window,'' the man said.

"I took it to mean that she lost her keys and could not open the door, but now I know that wasn't the case,'' he said.

Mr. Harrison told the man: "You were wearing dress shoes and pants and a white silk shirt, which is an item of some value or expense.

"When you went around to climb in the window you indicated you knocked on the window and called her name.

"You did not attempt to clarify her instructions before you climbed in,'' Mr.

Harrison asked.

He also asked the man whether it was his impression that the woman was asleep.

He replied: "When I climbed in the window I presumed she heard me but could not be bothered to get up.'' "You said you asked her if she wanted some coffee when you got in her apartment but you told Det. Insp. (Carlton) Adams that she was the one that asked you if you wanted coffee.

"I suggest what you have done here is change your story.'' The man said: "Det. Insp. Adams asked me for a version of the events and I spoke three times as fast as I am speaking now when I was talking to him.

"It was impossible for exact notes to be taken.'' The trial continues on July 18 before the Wor. Cheryl-Ann Mapp. Mr. Delroy Duncan appears for the defendant.
