MONTEGO BAY, St James — A man was hauled before the St James Parish Court on Wednesday for allegedly chopping a woman in her face after she refused to comply with his request for oral sex.
Charged with unlawful wounding, Gavin Graham appeared before presiding judge Natiesha Fairclough-Hylton.

The matter was reported to the police and after their investigations, Graham was arrested and charged.
His bail was extended until September 4, when the case will again be heard.
