A 26-year-old man accused of sexually assaulting a young boy three times over the course of a year was sent to prison on Monday. The first assault may have taken place when the boy was as young as eight years old.
Basil McDonald was charged with three counts of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor of the same sex and a single count of indecent assault at his hearing before Assistant Chief Magistrate Subusola Swain.
Between September 1, 2019, and December 31, 2020, McDonald allegedly sexually assaulted an underage boy between the ages of eight and nine on three occasions.
During this same timeframe, McDonald is said to have indecently assaulted the same minor.
Service of McDonald’s voluntary bill of indictment is set for August 30. The accused will remain in prison until he is granted Supreme Court bail.
