Man accused of indecent assault of girl, 8, denied bail

NASSAU-A 43-year-old man accused of the indecent assault of a child has been denied bail.

Prosecutors say Timothy Mario Jones, of United Estates, San Salvador, inappropriately touched the girl, aged eight, on March 1.

Jones did not enter a plea to the charge when he appeared before Deputy Chief Magistrate Andrew Forbes.

He’ll enter a plea once the case is sent to the Supreme Court. That will happen when Jones receives a voluntary bill of indictment (VBI) on October 26.

The magistrate denied bail. However, Jones can apply for bail in the Supreme Court.
