A man was granted bail yesterday after being accused of attempting to touch a 16-year-old girl’s private area last month in Acklins.

Assistant Chief Magistrate Carolyn Vogt-Evans arraigned Kenwood Collie, 46, on a charge of indecent assault.

Collie allegedly attempted to touch the girl between her legs in Lovely Bay, Acklins, on February 22.

He pleaded not guilty to the charge.

Inspector Wilkinson, the prosecutor, did not object to bail.

Collie was granted $5,000 bail with one or two sureties. He must sign in at the Spring Point Police Station every Monday by 5pm.

He was also ordered to stay at least 300 feet away from the complainant or risk having his bail revoked.

Collie’s trial is set for May 8.
