A 25-year-old man was also arraigned in that same court arraigned over allegations of rape.
Both men appeared before Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt on Friday and were remanded to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services.
It is alleged that Kevin Archer, 21, assaulted a woman with intent to rape on May 19 in Nassau Village.
Archer’s mother, who was present in the courtroom, requested that he be given some protection while at BDCS, citing that she and her son are close relatives to murder victims Marco and Rico Archer.

His death came seven years after 11-year-old Marco was murdered.
Archer’s matter was adjourned to August 13th, 2019.
It was also alleged that in May 2017, James Stubbs had sexual relations with an 18-year-old woman without her consent.
