Man accused of raping daughter

NASSAU- A 32-year-old man accused of raping his own daughter has been denied bail.

Prosecutors say the resident of New Providence first molested the child when she was 10. The alleged victim is now 12.

They allege that the man made his daughter perform oral sex on him.

Prosecutors say he first molested his daughter in 2018. Then, he allegedly committed additional incestuous acts in February and April of 2020.

The man’s name has been withheld to protect the child’s identity.

The suspect did not have to enter pleas to three counts of incest when he appeared before Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt today.

The magistrate refused him bail. However, the man can seek bail before a Supreme Court judge. The suspect returns to court on October 14
