A MAN who allegedly raped a girl he met through facebook has appeared in court but told he would have to wait for police to complete their investigation.
Waigani Committal Court Magistrate Cosmas Bidar told Jason Wai from Hagen Central in Western Highlands that police would serve him the file on the case.
Wai was charged with the sexual penetration of the 15-year-old girl between May 23 and August 23 this year on the Baruni back-road in the National Capital District.
Police prosecutor Joseph Sangam told the court that he had not received any instruction from the arresting officer on the progress of the investigation.
Police allege that Wai met the victim through facebook.
The matter will return to court on Nov 15.
