The girl was found with a knife in Fountain Lane in Boston, Lincolnshire, on Thursday night. Deividas Skempas was remanded in custody at Lincoln Crown Court on Monday, where he was required to enter no plea to the charge. Judge Simon Hirst told the defendant: “You will next be in court on September 19. I hope that on that date I can give you a trial date, that is, a date on which your trial can take place.” Earlier on Monday, Mr Skebas appeared at Lincoln Magistrates Court where he spoke only to confirm his name, address and date of birth during a two-minute hearing. He sat in a glass-lined dock wearing a gray tracksuit and spent most of the two-minute hearing with his head down and eyes closed. Mr Skembas was arrested after four CCTV images of a man who detectives said they wanted to trace were released.
