A 27-YEAR-OLD man was remanded yesterday accused of sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl two years ago.
Vann Miller stood before Senior Magistrate Derence A Rolle Davis on two counts of unlawful sexual intercourse.
It is alleged that between September 1 and November 30, 2021, Miller had sex with a child on two occasions.
As these charges are indictable offences, the accused was not required to enter a plea at that time. Miller was informed that his case would proceed to the Supreme Court by way of a voluntary bill of indictment (VBI).
The accused was also told that as the magistrate lacked the jurisdiction to grant him bail he had the right to apply for it through the higher court.
Until bail is granted, the accused will be remanded to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services.
Service of Miller’s VBI is set for June 15.
