A CANADIAN MAN was remanded in Magistrate’s Court yesterday on rape charges against a female American tourist.
Wayne McCann, 28, of Ontario, faced Assistant Chief Magistrate Carolyn Vogt-Evans accused of raping a 21-year-old American woman in New Providence on May 26.
Due to the nature of the offence he was not required to enter a plea in the Magistrate’s Court and was told that his case would proceed by way of a Voluntary Bill of Indictment (VBI).
The accused was also told that his case would be heard before the Supreme Court where he can apply for bail.
Until bail is granted he will be returned to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services (BDCS).
McCann is expected to return to the Magistrate’s Court on August 4 for service of his VBI.
