A MAN accused of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl in New Providence last week was remanded to prison yesterday.
Prosecutors allege that Kyle Edgecombe, 20, raped the teenage girl on June 23.
Edgecombe was not required to enter a plea to the rape charge before acting Chief Magistrate Ancella Evans.
He was told that his matter would proceed to the Supreme Court through a voluntary bill of indictment.
Edgecombe was also informed of his right to apply for bail in the Supreme Court.
He was remanded to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services until the service of his VBI on October 8.
Inspector Deon Barr prosecuted the case, while Alphonso Lewis represented the accused.
