A JAMAICAN woman was remanded in custody yesterday after she was once again accused of human trafficking.
Apolonia McLean, 34, was convicted and sentenced to three years and eight months for a similar offence in 2014.
Chief Magistrate Roberto Reckley arraigned her for three counts of trafficking in persons.
McLean allegedly transported a woman to New Providence to exploit her between September 1, 2023, and November 3, 2023.
Last week, the police circulated a wanted poster regarding the defendant’s charges.
McLean previously served a prison term for similar charges in 2015. She had trafficked a Jamaican woman into the country and withheld her documentation to exploit her into prostitution in 2013
The defendant was told her matter would be transferred to the Supreme Court through a voluntary bill of indictment (VBI).
McLean will return to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services until her VBI is issued on November 21.
