A man was remanded to prison yesterday after being arraigned concerning a sexual assault allegation.

Cleveland Antonio Musgrove, 23, of Kemp Road was accused of allegedly raping a 24-year-old woman on Monday, June 12.

According to initial reports from police, shortly after 1.30pm on the day in question a male Jet Ski operator offered a Canadian woman a ride at Cabbage Beach and took her to Athol Island off Paradise Island, where he is alleged to have sexually assaulted her. 

The jet ski operator then returned the woman to Cabbage Beach and the matter was reported to the police who later took a suspect into custody for questioning. 

Musgrove is scheduled to have his case fast-tracked to the Supreme Court on July 25 and was remanded to prison in the interim. 

He has retained attorney Bjorn Ferguson to represent him against the charge that was laid contrary to Section 6(A) of the Sexual Offences Act.
