Attorney Orson “OJ” Elrington will stand trial in September for a rape charge stemming from allegations made against him by a female complainant.
A case management conference was held on Tuesday before Justice Nigel Pilgrim, who will preside over the matter in a trial without a jury.
While a trial date has not yet been finalised, the next case management is set for September 19, when the full witness list is expected to be confirmed.
Elrington, 43, is being represented by his father, former Attorney General Hubert Elrington, as well as attorneys Norman Rodriguez and Michelle Trapp.
The prosecution is led by Director of Public Prosecutions Cheryl-Lynn Vidal.
Elrington denies all allegations. His defence team is expected to submit formal objections in writing by July 18.
