The police said the defendant attempted to remove the woman’s clothes and when she resisted, he forced her hands on his private part.
Akeem added that the defendant touched the woman’s breast.
The offence, he said, contravened the provisions of Section 264 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
The defendant, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The Chief Magistrate, B. O Osunsanmi, admitted the defendant to bail in the sum of N300,000 with two sureties in like sum.
Osunsanmi, therefore, adjourned the case until March 16 for legal advice from the office of the Lagos State Director of Public Prosecutions.
