NASSAU- A 71-year-man accused of repeatedly raping a nine-year-old girl over the past year has been denied bail.
Prosecutors say Alexander Cockburn, from Rolle Town, Exuma, molested the child on three occasions between 2019 and July 2020.
Cockburn didn’t have to enter pleas to charges of unlawful sexual intercourse when he appeared before Assistant Chief Magistrate Subusola Swain today.
Prosecutors plan to fast-track the case with a voluntary bill of indictment that will be presented on October 7.
Unless he gets bail in the Supreme Court, Cockburn will remain in custody.
