A 20-YEAR-OLD man was remanded to prison yesterday after being accused of sleeping with a 15-year-old girl.
Kevin Williams, represented by attorney Troy Kelman, stood before Magistrate Shaka Serville on a count of unlawful sexual intercourse.
The accused is alleged to have had sexual relations with a 15-year-old girl on September 20.
He was not required to enter a plea in court and was informed that his matter would proceed to the Supreme Court through a voluntary bill of indictment (VBI).
Williams was further informed that while the magistrate lacked the jurisdiction to grant him bail, he had the right to apply for it through the higher court.
He was remanded to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services in the interim.
Williams’s VBI is slated for service on December 5.
