A 32-year-old man was granted bail yesterday after he was accused of molesting a 15-year-old girl in New Providence.
Marckenson Petithomme appeared before Assistant Chief Magistrate Carolyn Vogt-Evans on a charge of unlawful sexual intercourse.
Prosecutors allege that the defendant had unlawful sexual intercourse with the teen sometime between October 1 and 31, 2023.
Petithomme was not required to enter a plea, as the matter will be transferred to the Supreme Court by way of a voluntary bill of indictment (VBI).
Petithomme’s bail was set at $9,000 with one or two sureties. As part of his bail conditions, he must sign in at the Carmichael Road Police Station every Sunday and Wednesday by 7pm. He will also be fitted with a monitoring device.
The voluntary bill of indictment (VBI) is scheduled for service on June 23.
Assistant Superintendent of Police S Coakley served as the prosecutor.
