A man was granted bail after being accused of attempting to undress a sleeping 16-year-old boy in December.
Assistant Chief Magistrate Carolyn Vogt-Evans arraigned Devon Ferguson, 33, on a charge of indecent assault.
Prosecutors allege that on December 7, 2024, Ferguson attempted to remove the jeans of a teenage boy while he was asleep.
The complainant allegedly woke up startled and became fearful when he saw what was happening.
Ferguson, reportedly a family friend of the victim, pleaded not guilty to the charge.
Inspector Wilkinson, the prosecutor, did not object to bail.
Ferguson was granted $5,000 bail with one or two sureties. He must sign in at the Carmichael Road Police Station every Sunday by 7pm.
He was ordered to stay at least 300 feet away from the complainant or risk having his bail revoked.
His trial is scheduled for May 5.
