A 23-year-old man accused of raping a woman last year was denied bail in the Magistrate’s Court yesterday.
Ottis Jordin Hanna was charged with rape after he was accused of having sexual intercourse with a 21-year-old woman without her consent sometime between September and October 1 of last year.
He is also accused of indecently assaulting the woman during the same period.
Due to the nature of the offences, Hanna was not required to enter a plea to either of the charges and bail was denied.
He was told the case will proceed by way of a voluntary bill of indictment. Hanna was remanded to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services.
However, he can apply to the Supreme Court for bail. His next court appearance is on July 25.
