Woman charged after missing girl found at her home

NASSAU- A woman is facing charges after a missing teenager was allegedly found at her home on April 14.

Prosecutors allege that Allison Forbes, 19, of Blue Hill Road, had the 14-year-old girl from April 9 to 14.

Forbes and the girl reportedly met on Facebook. The child’s family reported her missing after they woke up and found her gone. Some of her clothing was also missing.

Forbes appeared before Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt on Monday charged with abduction of an unmarried a teenager, an offence that carries a maximum of two years’ imprisonment.

Forbes did not have to enter a plea to the charge and was denied bail.

She returns to court on June 29. At that time, prosecutors intend to fast-track the matter to the Supreme Court by presenting a voluntary bill of indictment.
