A 45-year-old teacher was granted bail yesterday after being accused of inappropriate behaviour toward a 15-year-old male student at RM Bailey High School last week.
Assistant Chief Magistrate Carolyn Vogt Evans arraigned Franklyn Donaldson on charges of indecent assault. The defendant appeared surprised by the charge.
Prosecutors allege that Donaldson touched the bottom of a male student during school hours on February 3.
Donaldson pleaded not guilty to the charge. His bail was set at $5,000, with one or two sureties.
Under the terms of his bail, he must check in at the Grove Police Station every Sunday by 7pm. He was warned that interfering with witnesses could result in his bail being revoked. His trial is scheduled to begin on March 20.
