A MAN was jailed yesterday after being charged with a spree of sexual assaults in the Golden Isles area this month.
Seantino Rolle, 27, stood before Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt on three counts of rape.
He faced additional charges of abetment to rape, possession of an unlicensed firearm, possession of ammunition, three counts of armed robbery, three counts of threats of death, two counts of assault and two counts of forcible taking or detention with intent to have unlawful sexual intercourse.
Rolle allegedly aided and abetted in the rape of a 41-year-old male at gunpoint on May 2 in New Providence. The suspects allegedly robbed the victim of his cell phone.
On May 4–5 at Well Fields, Rolle allegedly held a 31-year-old woman hostage at gunpoint and had sexual intercourse with her against her will twice. It is further alleged that he stole the victim’s 2012 Honda Stepwagon, two phones and bank cards valued at $9,205.
Rolle allegedly abducted a 38-year-old woman at gunpoint in a small grey vehicle around 10am on May 13 on Bacardi Road. He allegedly took her into the nearby bushes and forcefully had sexual intercourse with her. He allegedly robbed her of $4,045 and her cellphone.
Rolle was arrested on May 16 after he and three others were allegedly found with a black Smith & Wesson 40mm pistol and seven unfired rounds of ammunition.
His co-accused in the firearm matter was arraigned on May 19.
Rolle pleaded not guilty to both firearm charges.
Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson Pratt told him the higher charges would proceed to the Supreme Court via a Voluntary Bill of Indictment (VBI).
His firearm trial will begin on June 19–20 before Magistrate Lennox Coleby.
