Woman charged with libel over Facebook post

NASSAU- A woman maliciously accused a policeman of sexually molesting underage girls, prosecutors say.

Vanessa Darville, 38, of Frangipani Avenue, Garden Hills, on Wednesday denied a charge of intentional libel that stemmed from a Facebook post made this month.

Prosecutors allege that Darville intended to defame the officer’s character with the false claim.

Darville and Roosevelt Jean, 38, also denied charges of misusing the telecommunications system to the annoyance of the officer.

They return to court for trial on November 25.

Deputy Chief Magistrate Andrew Forbes set Darville’s bail at $2,500 and Jean’s bail at $1,500.
