A 16-year-old boy was granted bail yesterday after he was accused of indecently assaulting a six-year-old girl.
Senior Magistrate Algernon Allen Jr arraigned the teenage defendant, whose name is being withheld due to him being a minor, on indecent assault.
The juvenile’s guardian was present for his arraignment.
Prosecutors allege that the defendant inappropriately touched a six-year-old girl on April 28, 2024 in New Providence.
After electing to continue his matter summarily before the magistrate, the defendant pleaded not guilty.
The defendant’s bail was set at $7,000 with one or two sureties. Under the terms of his bail, he must obey a 5pm to 7am curfew.
The accused’s trial will begin on June 25.
Wendawn Miller-Frazier represented the defendant.
