A Clarendon farmer, who is accused of abducting a 13-year-old girl from Kingston and taking her to two parishes to perform sexual acts in a club, is scheduled to return to the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate’s Court on April 18 for a preliminary hearing.

The 36-year-old man, also accused of sexually assaulting the teen who was reportedly in his custody for five days, is facing charges of carnal abuse; two counts of procuring a person by administering drugs; two counts of grievous sexual assault; two counts of human trafficking; three counts of living off the earnings of prostitution; and procuring violation of person by administering drugs.

The date for the hearing was set Thursday, while his bail was extended by Senior Resident Magistrate Judith Pusey.

It is alleged that in January of last year, the accused abducted the minor from a bus park in downtown Kingston and took her to his home in Clarendon where he sexually assaulted her.

It is also alleged that the man took the complainant to Old Harabour in St Catherine and to St Ann to perform sexual intercourse in clubs.

However the accused man’s lawyer, Denise Hinson, has denied the allegations.
