A MAN was remanded in Magistrate’s Court yesterday accused of unlawfully having sex with a mentally unstable woman and assaulting her with a knife.
Yuel Major, 55, appeared before Assistant Chief Magistrate Subusola Swain on two counts of unlawful sexual intercourse with a person suffering from a mental disorder. Major also faced an additional charge of assault with a deadly weapon.
Sometime between May 1–31 in New Providence, Major is accused of having sex with a woman suffering from a mental disorder and also assaulting her with a knife.
Major is also alleged to have had sex with the same mentally ill woman on June 5.
Because of the nature of the charges, Major was not required to enter a plea at this time. He was informed that his matter would proceed by way of a Voluntary Bill of Indictment (VBI).
Major was also told that his case would be heard in the Supreme Court, where he can make an official bail application.
Until bail is granted, he will be remanded to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services.
Major is expected to be served his VBI on September 6.
