The court is now attempting to find out if a man who has been accused of sleeping with another man, and then running away with several items, including his clothes, is in fact guilty.
The accused man appeared in the Spanish Town Resident Magistrate's Court yesterday and is set to return on July 29.
When the case was called up the alleged thief who is of a Kitson Town address in St Catherine was granted $80,000 bail.
When the details of the case was revealed in court there was an outburst of laughter causing the police to shout ''order, order inside the court."
The court was told by the complainant that after he slept with the accused at a motel along the Portmore 'Back Road' he got up about 4 a.m. and found all his clothing gone.
He told the court that he also noticed that his cellphone valued at $3,000, a wallet with $6,000 along with the keys to his Honda Integra motor car were missing.

An investigation was launched and the accused was allegedly caught by the police with the vehicle, a small quantity of ganja and a ratchet knife in his possession.
He was subsequently charged with possession of ganja, being armed with an offensive weapon, simple larceny and driving away a motor vehicle without the owner's consent.
He pleaded guilty to the ganja and knife charges and not guilty to the larceny offences.
An attorney who appeared on behalf of the complainant secured the release of the car to his client.
