A jetman called “Pharaoh” was on Wednesday slapped with a sexual misconduct charge and appeared before acting Chief Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
Feron Hernandez, 42, of Port Kaituma, North West District, denied the charge against him.
It is alleged that he engaged in sexual activity with the 14-year-old by kissing and touching her breast.
Reports indicate that the teen was fetching water on June 2, 2018 at Canal Back, Port Kaituma when the incident occurred.
After fetching the water, the teen visited her grandmother’s home to change her clothes when the man, who is known to her, reportedly barged in, ripped off the teenager’s bra and forcibly kissed her and touched her breast. The teen managed to escape his grip and reported what had occurred to another relative.
That relative reported the matter to the Police and Hernandez was arrested and later charged.
In court on Wednesday, Attorney Dexter Todd made a successful bail application. Hernandez was released on $250,000 bail on the condition that he stay 200 feet away from the Virtual Complainant (VC) and any other relative involved in the matter.
The case will continue on June 15, 2018.
