40-year-old man accused of soliciting sex from boy, 14

A 40-year-old man was remanded in custody yesterday after he was accused of soliciting sex from a 14-year-old boy last week.

Assistant Chief Magistrate Carolyn Vogt-Evans charged Fred Williams with procuration.

Williams allegedly procured an underaged male for unlawful sexual intercourse on February 22 in New Providence.

The defendant 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 scheduled for service on May 25.
