The sentencing of serial rapist Dwayne Redfin, who posed as a taxi operator, was again postponed when the matter was called up on Friday in the St Catherine Circuit Court.
Presiding judge Justice Yvonne Brown indicated that she needed time to read his social enquiry report, which she said only received that morning.
Sentencing was pushed back to March 21.
The 36-year-old pleaded guilty to five counts of rape, five counts of gross sexual assault, five counts of forcible abduction and three counts of robbery with aggravation.
Facts are that in early 2017 Redfin was held by the Portmore police in St Catherine after investigators received reports that he sexually assaulted a woman.
Further investigation by the Centre for the Investigation of Sexual and Child Abuse revealed that the fake taxi operator had committed sexual criminal acts against a number of his passengers.
The victims were located and statements were collected, which pointed to him as the person who assaulted them.
He was subsequently charged.
