A MAN was remanded to custody yesterday after he was accused of attempting to rape his female roommate on East Street last weekend.

Prosecutors allege Anthony Grant, 36, attempted to rape the 22-year-old woman on the night of November 29. The woman was reportedly able to resist and fight him off before fleeing their apartment.

Grant was charged with attempted rape before Magistrate Abigail Farrington. He was not required to enter a plea. The case will proceed to the Supreme Court through a voluntary bill of indictment. He must apply for bail in the higher court.

Grant will be remanded to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services until the service of his VBI on March 27 2026.

Assistant Superintendent of Police K Bould prosecuted the matter.
