A 27-year-old laborer of Queenstown Village, Essequibo Coast, Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam) was on Tuesday slapped with a sexual assault charge and remanded to prison.
Ray Henry appeared before Magistrate Ravindra Mohabir at the Anna Regina Magistrate’s Court. The charge stems from an incident on August 30, 2025, at Queenstown, in which a 23-year-old teacher was allegedly assaulted.
The charge was laid under Section 4 (3) of the Sexual Offences Act, Chapter 8:03. Henry was not required to enter a plea when the matter was read in court. Acting on the advice of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), the prosecution invoked the Administration of Justice Act, and the accused entered a not guilty plea.
The prosecutor objected to bail, and Henry was remanded to prison. The case has been adjourned to September 30.
