TWIN sisters Julianne and Gillian Boyd, along with five men charged in connection with the alleged sexual exploitation of a runaway underaged teen, are to return to the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate’s Court on March 17.

The sisters are charged with encouraging prostitution of a girl and aiding and abetting carnal abuse, while the men are charged with carnal abuse.

On Friday when the case was called up for mention, the prosecution informed the court that the file was incomplete. However, the matter was scheduled for a plea and case management hearing in March. The accused persons’ bails were extended by Resident Magistrate Lorna Shelly Williams.

According to police reports, the teen ran away from home last year and went to live with the twins, who reportedly arranged for her to have sex with the men in exchange for money.

But the twins’ attorney has since denied the allegations, stating that his clients took the teen into their home because she said she was pregnant.

According to the lawyer, his clients had even secured a job for the minor at an ice-cream parlour but were later forced into asking her to leave their home after she failed to heed their warnings about her promiscuous behaviour.
