Doctor charged with illegal abortion returns to court Dec 17
KINGSTON, Jamaica – Fifty-four-year-old medical doctor, Lloyd Brooks, who is charged with procuring abortion, had his bail extended when he appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate’s Court today.
Brooks’ bail was extended by Senior Magistrate Judith Pusey, after the court was told that the file was incomplete.
A December 17 mention date was subsequently set for him to reappear in court.
Brooks was charged on September 17, after detectives from the Centre for the Investigation of Sexual Offences and Child Abuse received a report that he had carried out an abortion on a minor.
He was questioned in the presence of his attorney and was charged with the offence.
