A 35-year-old Devonshire man appeared in Magistrates’ Court yesterday charged with the alleged sexual assault of a woman.
The accused, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, is alleged to have committed the offence on 27 August 2026 in Devonshire Parish. The complainant also cannot be named for legal reasons.
The man pleaded not guilty and elected to have the matter heard in the Magistrates Court.
Senior Magistrate Maxanne Anderson granted the defendant $5,000 bail with strict conditions. He was ordered to have no contact with the complainant, report to Hamilton Police Station between 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., and comply with a nightly 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. curfew.
The matter was adjourned, and the defendant is scheduled to return to Magistrates’ Court on 19 October 2026 at 2:30 p.m.
As the case is now before the courts, the allegations remain unproven, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
