A 37-year-old has been remanded to prison in Anguilla after being charged with several offences involving a minor including unlawful sexual intercourse.
The man, whose identity is protected by law, was arrested on 11 April and formally charged with four offences on 13 April.
They are unlawful sexual intercourse with a dependent child, procuration of a minor, failure to report offences against a minor and obstruction.
He appeared in Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday, 16 April, where he was granted bail in the sum of EC$100,000 with a cash bond of $15,000.
The accused was unable to secure the required bail and cash bond so was remanded into custody, a press release from the Royal Anguilla Police Force said.
Anguilla’s Criminal Code prohibits the identification and publication of both complainants and defendants accused of most sexual offences.
