A 49-year-old man was remanded in custody yesterday after being accused of molesting an 11-year-old girl on two occasions last August.
Anthony Bain was arraigned on two counts of unlawful sexual intercourse before Assistant Chief Magistrate Carolyn Vogt-Evans.
Prosecutors allege that Bain had unlawful sexual intercourse with the girl — whose name is being withheld due to her age — on two occasions between August 1 and 31, 2024, in New Providence.
He was informed that he was not required to enter a plea at this stage, as the matter would be transferred to the Supreme Court by way of a voluntary bill of indictment (VBI).
Bain was also advised of his right to apply for bail through the higher court.
He will be held at the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services until the VBI is served on June 26.
The defendant’s girlfriend appeared in court to inquire about his well-being and bail status.
Assistant Superintendent of Police S Coakley served as the prosecutor.
