A 24-year-old man was sent to prison yesterday after allegedly sexually abusing a mentally ill woman twice this summer.

Senior Magistrate Carolyn Vogt-Evans charged Christopher Gomez with two counts of unlawful sexual intercourse with a person suffering from a mental disorder.

Gomez is accused of having unlawful sexual relations with a mentally ill woman twice in New Providence between July 23 and August 1.

The accused was informed that his matter would be transferred to the Supreme Court by a voluntary bill of indictment (VBI). He will be sent to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services until the higher court grants him bail.

His VBI is set for service on February 29, 2024.
