KINGSTON, Jamaica — A police constable accused of touching a 16-year-old inappropriately was yesterday offered $300,000 bail when he appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate’s Court.
The 29-year-old officer, who is stationed at the National Intelligence Bureau, was offered bail by Senior Magistrate Judith Pusey on a charge of indecent assault.
Attorney Tameka Harris during her bail application told the court that her client is denying the allegations.
The alleged sexual assault occurred in Portmore, St Catherine, as a result the matter was transferred to the Spanish Town Resident Magistrate’s Court for mention on March 13.
