A 57-year-old male assistant coach is accused of having sex with an underage student six times in the past six months.
John Campbell was arraigned on six counts of unlawful sexual intercourse before Assistant Chief Magistrate Carolyn Vogt-Evans.
Prosecutors allege that the defendant had unlawful sexual intercourse with a teenage girl, whose name is being withheld because she is a minor, on six occasions between October 1, 2024, and March 31, 2025.
The victim was 14 and 15 years old when the incidents occurred. The defendant is reportedly a family friend of the victim and would occasionally give her rides home from LW Young High School.
Campbell was informed that he was not required to enter a plea at that time and that his case would be transferred to the Supreme Court by a voluntary bill of indictment (VBI).
He was also advised of his right to apply for bail through the higher court.
The accused will be held at the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services until his VBI is served on June 30. Assistant Superintendent of Police S Coakley served as the prosecutor.
