A 20-year-old man was granted $5,000 bail yesterday after he allegedly molested an 11-year-old girl in Eleuthera last week.

Senior Magistrate Shaka Serville charged Ricardo Johnson with indecent assault.

Mark Penn represented the accused.

Johnson allegedly inappropriately touched the underaged girl’s privates on Queen’s Highway in James Cistern, Eleuthera, on January 14. 

Following the defendant’s not-guilty plea, Johnson was informed that he would be fitted with a monitoring device under the terms of his bail. He must also sign in at the East Street South Police Station every 14 and 28 days of the month before 7pm. 

Johnson’s trial begins on June 4.
