Man placed on $60,000 bail for assaulting minor

Samuel Duncan

Samuel Duncan, who is accused of causing physical harm to a juvenile, made an appearance at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts on Friday. He denied the charge read to him by Magistrate Rhondell Weever.
It is alleged that on December 4, 2023, at the D’Urban Backlands Squatting Area in Georgetown, he unlawfully and maliciously inflicted grievous bodily harm on a minor.
Duncan was not represented by an attorney.
Duncan and the virtual complainant live close to one another, according to the Police prosecutor. Duncan was granted $60,000 bail, subject to the condition that he refrain from communicating with the virtual complainant while the case is being resolved.
To maintain harmony, he was also put on bond to keep the peace. Magistrate Weever threatened to revoke Duncan’s bail and remand him to prison pending the outcome of his trial if he disobeyed the court’s orders.
This defendant’s next court date has been fixed for January 26, 2024.
