NASSAU- A judge today granted three men charged with the gang rape of two 19-year-old girls emergency bail.

Justice Bernard Turner heard the bail application shortly after a magistrate remanded RBDF Able Mechanic Yorick Brice Jr, his brother, Maximus Brice and a 17-year-old boy into custody.

Prosecutors allege that the men raped the women at a party on July 12.

Justice Turner set bail at $5,000 each and the Crown did not oppose the bail application.

The men are set to appear before Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson l-Pratt on October 21 to receive a voluntary bill of indictment.

Bjorn Ferguson represents the Brices and Nathan Smith represents the juvenile.
