A man who assaulted a woman resulting in her eyesight being threatened found himself before the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts on Friday to answer to the charge.
Mark Robert denied the charge when it was read to him by Magistrate Leron Daly.
The charge stated that on October 4, 2017, at Georgetown, he unlawfully assaulted Nalini Tiwari so as to cause her actual bodily harm.
According to the prosecutor, the Virtual Complainant (VC) is currently hospitalised and continues to lose consciousness.
He added that the medical report presented to the court also revealed that the VC could lose her eyesight.
It was also revealed that the defendant had a similar matter before the court previously. However, he denied this and indicated that he was previously charged but in connection with a stolen bicycle.
Magistrate Daly granted bail in the sum of ,000, and the defendant was cautioned against interfering with the VC.
He is expected to return to court on November 17, 2017.
