A 21-year-old man accused of unlawful sexual intercourse has been granted bail of $30,000 by the St John’s Magistrates’ Court.

The defendant, who is self-employed, must deposit $3,000, provide two sureties, surrender his passport, and report to police three times a week. He has also been ordered not to contact the 18-year-old complainant.

Acting Chief Magistrate Dexter Wason noted the man has no prior record of similar offences.

Committal proceedings are set for 15 December. The accused is represented by attorney Wendel Alexander.
