NASSAU-A mental patient accused of fondling a nine-year-old girl has been remanded.
Prosecutors say that Ray Sebastian Charles touched the child’s private parts when he put his hand in her pants on July 7.
Charles pleaded guilty to the charge of indecent assault at his arraignment before Magistrate Jeanine Weech-Gomez.
When the court asked Charles why he fondled the girl, he replied, “I just felt so.”
However, the magistrate vacated his guilty plea after a relative advised the court of his schizophrenia diagnosis.
Magistrate Weech-Gomez remanded Charles to prison and directed psychiatrists from the Sandilands Rehabilitation Centre determine his fitness to plead.
He returns to court on July 22.
