A MAN accused of sexually assaulting two teenage girls last month was remanded to prison on Friday.
Prosecutors allege Jahmal Daniels, 37, raped a 16-year-old girl in New Providence on February 23. He is also accused of having unlawful sexual intercourse with a 15-year-old girl on February 24.
Police allegedly found Daniels in possession of a forged NIB card and driver’s licence on March 1.
Daniels was not required to enter a plea to the rape charge before Magistrate Abigail Farrington. He pleaded not guilty to unlawful sexual intercourse and two counts of possession of a forged document.
He was previously accused of unlawful sexual intercourse with a 14-year-old girl on January 3, 2020.
Daniels was informed that the rape charge will proceed to the Supreme Court by way of a voluntary bill of indictment. He must apply for bail in that court. He was denied bail on the remaining charges before the Magistrate’s Court.
He was remanded to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services until service of the voluntary bill of indictment on June 10.
Assistant Superintendent of Police K Bould was the prosecutor. Moses Bain represented the accused.
