NASSAU-A law enforcement officer is among three men accused of the gang rape of two 19-year-old girls.
Prosecutors allege that Royal Bahamas Defence Force officer Yorick Brice Jr., 26, his brother Maximus Brice, 19, and a 17-year-old boy raped the women at a party on July 12.
Yorick Brice, who was recently promoted to able mechanic, has been suspended and placed on half-pay pending the conclusion of the case.
They were not required to enter pleas when they made their first court appearance before Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt and denied bail.
Magistrate Ferguson-Pratt remanded the adults to the Bahamas Department of Corrections and the juvenile to the Simpson Penn School For Boys.
Prosecutors intend to fast-track the case to the Supreme Court with a voluntary bill of indictment on October 21.
Bjorn Ferguson represents the Brice brothers and Nathan Smith appeared for the juvenile.
