A MAN on bail for sexual assault was sentenced to six months in prison after he admitted to breaching curfew 12 times.

Senior Magistrate Derrence Rolle Davis charged Chanton Butler, 23, with 12 counts of violation of bail conditions.

Butler was granted $15,000 bail by the Supreme Court for unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor after he allegedly slept with a 15-year-old girl in November 2021.

Butler’s residential curfew is 9pm to 6am. He breached that 12 times between March 20 to July 30, 2023.

He faced a previous bail violation conviction last September; he was placed on 18 months probation and fined $1,000.

He was sentenced to six months at the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services after he pleaded guilty to his most recent bail breaches.
