A 37-year-old man was granted bail yesterday after he was accused of molesting his underaged niece over a three-year period.
Assistant Chief Magistrate Carolyn Vogt-Evans arraigned the defendant, whose name is being withheld to protect the identity of the victim, on four counts of indecent assault.
Prosecutors allege that the man touched the girl inappropriately on four separate occasions between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2023. The child was between eight and eleven years old during that time.
The defendant pleaded not guilty to the charges.
He was granted $7,000 bail with one or two sureties and ordered to sign in at the Fox Hill Police Station every Sunday by 7pm. He was also warned to stay at least 300 feet away from the complainant or risk having his bail revoked.
He is expected to return to court on April 7.
Assistant Superintendent of Police Lincoln McKenzie served as the prosecutor.
