A 22-year-old man was sent to prison  yesterday accused of the sexual assault of a woman during a home invasion in Exuma last week.

Trevano Smith stood before Senior Magistrate Carolyn Vogt-Evans on charges of attempted rape and burglary.

It is alleged that between 1am and 3.20am on April 15 in Moss, Town, Exuma, Smith broke into the residence of a 40-year-old woman and attempted to force her to have sexual intercourse with him against her will.

Smith was told his case would be transferred to the Supreme Court by way of a Voluntary Bill of Indictment (VBI) and that he would be sent to prison until bail is granted by the higher court. Smith’s VBI is set for service on September 21.
