A ROYAL Bahamas Defence Force officer and two other men were yesterday remanded in custody over allegations they raped two teenagers last week.
Yorick Brice Jr, 26, his brother Maximus Brice, 19, and another teenager aged 17, appeared before Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt after they were accused of having sex with two 19-year-old women without their consent on July 12. During the hearing, the men were not required to enter a plea and the matter was adjourned to October 21 for service of a voluntary bill of indictment (VBI).
Bail was denied and the Brice brothers were remanded to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services in the interim. The juvenile was taken into custody at the Simpson Penn Centre for Boys until trial.
All defendants have a right to apply to the Supreme Court for bail.
