A 21-year-old has been remanded after he allegedly sexually assaulted an underage girl earlier this year.

Magistrate Raquel Whyms charged Alton Percentie with unlawful sexual intercourse.

Percentie allegedly had unlawful sexual intercourse with a 14-year-old girl in New Providence on January 19.

Percentie was informed that his matter would be moved to the Supreme Court by a voluntary bill of indictment (VBI). He will be sent to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services until the higher court grants him bail.

The VBI is set for service on February 6, 2024.
