Daniel Penman, defending, asked the crown court judge to adjourn the case for three weeks until Friday, April 22.
He said that Jemmett lost his rented home when he was jailed and that efforts were continuing to find him accommodation.
Jemmett will remain in custody in the meantime and Judge Timothy Stead told him: ”I am not giving any indication or promises.”
