He spoke only to confirm his name, address and date of birth and appeared to hold his stomach with one hand throughout the brief proceedings.
District Judge Timothy Capstick told Barrott he would appear at Leeds Crown Court on Wednesday and remanded him into custody.
Barrott sat looking at the floor during the hearing but looked over at a family member in the public gallery as he stood to leave the dock.
