A 22-year-old man was sentenced to one year in prison yesterday after he was found guilty of molesting a six-year-old girl two years ago.
Kashawn Russell faced a charge of indecent assault.
The victim testified yesterday that while staying at a relative's home watching videos, sometime between May 1 and 31, 2021, Russell entered the room and rubbed her private parts under her dress.
She also said he put his penis to her lips.
During the sexual assault, the victim’s grandmother, with whom she lived, was out with friends. The grandmother is now dead.
When asked how the incident made her feel, the young girl said it made her feel bad.
After reviewing the evidence, Magistrate Vogt-Evans found Russell guilty. Russell is to serve a one-year prison term at the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services.
