Constable Jayden Turk is accused of sexually assaulting a woman after he met her at a hotel in September 2023.

After a lengthy investigation, the 25-year-old was arrested in February and charged with two counts of sexual intercourse without consent.

He was suspended without pay from NSW Police following his arrest but had not been on active duty since November 2023.

Most of the brief of evidence against Turk has been collected but prosecutors are still awaiting an outstanding report, Newtown Local Court was told on Tuesday.

Magistrate Alexander Mijovich adjourned the case for three months to allow the parties to hold discussions.

Turk will remain on bail until he returns to court on July 8 under conditions which bar him from threatening, intimidating or harassing the alleged victim.

He was also prohibited from entering any international departure point and had to surrender his passport.

With his head bowed, the constable remained silent as he strode out of the courthouse alongside his lawyer.
