NASSAU- A man accused of sexually abusing a dependent child has been denied bail.
Doyle Dean, 36, of Mount Thompson, Exuma, is accused of molesting the child at ages 10 and 12.
Prosecutors allege Dean molested the girl in 2018 and again in 2021.
He’s also accused of indecently assaulting the 12-year-old on October 30.
Dean did not have to enter pleas to charges of unlawful sexual intercourse with a dependent and indecent assault.
Assistant Chief Magistrate Subusola Swain remanded Dean to prison.
However, he can apply for bail in the Supreme Court.
Dean returns to court on January 17.
