A 35-year-old man was charged with rape in the Magistrate’s Court yesterday.
Prosecutors allege Akeem Brooks had sex with a 19-year-old woman without her consent on February 28.
During his hearing before Deputy Chief Magistrate Andrew Forbes, he was not required to enter a plea and his case was adjourned to April 23 for service of a voluntary bill indictment.
Brooks was denied bail and remanded to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services until that time. He has a right to apply to the Supreme Court for bail.
