Man accused of raping woman he met on Facebook

NASSAU- A woman says she was raped by a man she met on Facebook.

The 22-year-old woman had been talking to Mervin Johnson for several weeks before they decided to meet in person.

That meeting allegedly took place at Johnson’s place on Peter Street on November 10.

However, instead of entertaining his guest, prosecutors say Johnson, 21, raped her.

Johnson was not required to enter a plea to the rape charge when he appeared before Assistant Chief Magistrate Subusola Swain yesterday.

Johnson was denied bail and will next appear in court on December 10.

Sergeant Lincoln McKenzie prosecuted.
