EBD man remanded for rape of teen boy

Wazeer Potter, a Garden of Eden, East Bank Demerara resident was on Friday hauled before the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts to face a charge of sexual assault committed on a 14-year-old.
Potter was not required to plead to the indictable charge when it was read to him by Magistrate Sherdel Issacs-Marcus. The charge stated that on August 8, 2018, at Garden of Eden, East Bank Demerara (EBD), he engaged in sexual activity with a child under the age of 16 years old.
Reports indicate that on August 8, 2018, the victim was playing in the front yard of his home when he was snatched by the accused and taken to a house where the act was committed.
After the incident, the victim related to his grandmother what transpired and a report was made to the police. Potter subsequently went into hiding but was recently apprehended by the police.
Magistrate Issacs-Marcus remanded him to prison. The case will continue on October 1, 2019.
