A 32-year-old man was jailed yesterday after he was accused of sexually assaulting an 18-year-old girl last September.

Magistrate Kendra Kelly charged Perry Cooper with indecent assault.

Cooper allegedly inappropriately touched an 18-year-old female in New Providence on September 27, 2023.

Al-Leecia Delancey represented the defendant. Sergeant Vernon Pyfrom served as the prosecutor.

Cooper was told that his matter would be transferred to the Supreme Court through a voluntary bill of indictment (VBI). He will be sent to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services until the higher court grants him bail.

The accused’s VBI is slated for service on May 26.
