A MAN accused of attempting to rape a 28-year-old woman in New Providence last month was remanded to prison on Friday.

Prosecutors allege Theo Smith, 37, attempted to rape the woman on October 11.

Smith was not required to enter a plea to a charge of attempted rape before acting Chief Magistrate Ancella Evans.

He was told his case would proceed to the Supreme Court through a voluntary bill of indictment (VBI) and that he had the right to apply for bail in the higher court.

Smith was remanded to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services until service of his VBI on March 4, 2027.

Inspector Crestanea Munroe prosecuted.
