A 20-year-old man was locked behind bars yesterday after he was accused of molesting his seven-year-old niece earlier this month.

Magistrate Kara Turnquest-Deveaux charged the man, whose name is being withheld to protect the identity of the victim, with incest.

The accused allegedly had unlawful sexual intercourse with his niece on December 1 in New Providence.

The defendant was remanded to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services. His case will be transferred to the Supreme Court through a voluntary bill of indictment slated for service on March 28, 2024.
