A MAN was ordered to pay a 19-year-old woman $3,000 in compensation after admitting to kissing her without her consent at Oh Andros on Arawak Cay earlier this week.
Assistant Chief Magistrate Carolyn Vogt Evans arraigned Moralus Joseph, 50, on a charge of indecent assault.
Prosecutors said Joseph kissed the teenage girl on the lips without her consent at Oh Andros on February 18.
He pleaded guilty and apologised for his actions.
After reprimanding him, Magistrate Evans granted a conditional discharge, ordering him to compensate the complainant $3,000 and to keep the peace for one year.
Failure to meet these conditions will result in a six-month prison sentence.
Joseph is expected to return to court today to make the payment.
Terrell Butler and Moses Bain represented the accused.
