A Station Street, Kitty, Georgetown resident was on Tuesday granted bail by Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus on a sexual assault charge when he appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
Forty-year-old Rishi Seepersaud, a taxi driver, denied the charge which stated that on September 8, 2018, at McDoom, Greater Georgetown, he sexually assaulted a child under the age of 16. The Police report stated that the child was 11 years old at the time.
Seepersaud’s Attorney, Darren Wade made a successful application for bail on behalf of his client.
Reports are that on the day in question, the minor was a backseat passenger in the defendant’s car when he stretched out his hand and touched her inappropriately.
The victim, after being dropped off at her home, related what had occurred to her parents who then reported the matter to the Police.
Magistrate Isaacs-Marcus granted the defendant his pre-trial liberty in the sum of $100,000 and scheduled the matter for January 28, 2019.
