The offence is alleged to have taken place in Whitehaven on November 23.
Michael Pope, defending, requested that the case be sent to crown court to be heard with the case of Mark Burr, the defendant’s father.
Burr will appear at Carlisle Crown Court for a pre-trial preparation hearing on February 3.
He was granted unconditional bail.
