A MALE nurse aboard a cruise ship was sent to prison yesterday after he was accused of sexually assaulting a female patient under his care last week.
Titus Dabre, 34, of Bombay, India, stood before Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt on a charge of rape.
According to police reports, on April 18 at around 7.30am, a 43-year-old woman from Cleveland, Ohio, visited the infirmary aboard a cruise ship as it was docked in New Providence. While receiving medical attention, it is alleged that after Dabre administered a dosage of medication he sexually assaulted the victim.
Dabre was informed by the Chief Magistrate that his matter would proceed to the Supreme Court by way of Voluntary Bill of Indictment (VBI), due for service on August 23.
