The woman went into the accused yard, and he allegedly held her at gunpoint, forced her inside his house and sexually assaulted her.
Again, about 8:00pm, on Friday, August 28, 2020 Bowers approached the same woman and forced her into an unfinished building and again had sexual intercourse with her against her will.
The female reported the matter to the police, but when they went to the location they discovered that Bowers had fled the community and relocated to Kingston.
An operation was carried out in Kingston on January 28 of this year, where the accused man was apprehended and subsequently charged.
