Nassau-A man has been refused bail on charges of molesting a minor at a home.
Sheldon Forbes, 42, of Sir Lynden Pindling Estates, appeared before Deputy Chief Magistrate Andrew Forbes accused of the indecent assault of an eight-year-old girl.
Forbes did not have a lawyer for his initial court appearance. And he won’t be required to enter a plea to the charge until his arraignment in the Supreme Court.
Despite this, Forbes told the court that he’s innocent.
The magistrate told him that would be decided at his trial in the Supreme Court.
Forbes will learn his arraignment date once he’s served with a voluntary bill of indictment.
That’s expected to happen on July 30.
He’ll remain at the Bahamas Department of Corrections unless a Supreme Court judge grants him bail.
