A MAN accused of rape chose to serve two months in prison yesterday after admitting to breaching his curfew while out on bail.

Senior Magistrate Raquel Whyms arraigned Sedell Pierre, 34, on a charge of violating his bail conditions.

Pierre had been granted Supreme Court bail after being accused of raping a 41-year-old woman in New Providence on February 7, 2023.

While on release, he reportedly breached his court-ordered residential curfew on three occasions between February 3 and 22.

Pierre pleaded guilty to the charge.

Although he was ordered to pay a $1,500 fine, he opted to serve a two-month prison term instead.

Sergeant 2257 Wilkinson prosecuted the case.
