19-Year-Old Denies Firearm Charge, Sex Assault

July 2, 2012

A 19-year-old man — who cannot be named for legal reasons — appeared in this morning’s [July 2] Supreme Court monthly arraignments, and denied charges of serious sexual assault as well as using a firearm to commit an indictable offence. The defendant is alleged to have sexually assaulted a female at gunpoint during a home invasion.

The teenager is the only one charged with sexual assault, but one of three defendants facing charges in relation to an armed home invasion earlier this year. The teenager and the other two defendants [Triston Burgess and Olicie Morgan] will remain in custody until their trial in September.

Also appearing in the arraignment session was Ahijah Dill, who maintained his plea of not guilty to charges of wounding and having a bladed article [machete] on 22 January, 2012, outside the Leopard’s Club. He will remain in custody until his trial later this year.

Kiare Hollis, Cordell Samuels, Celia Correia, and Shuntai Scraders also appeared in Supreme Court this morning. Mr Hollis alone pleaded not guilty to a charge of conspiracy to import cannabis, two money laundering charges, and one charge of possession of drug equipment.

Both Ms Correia and Ms Scraders pleaded not guilty to two charges each relating to money laundering said to have taken place between 1st August 2007 and 7th August 2011. The defendants will remain free on bail until their trial on 4th December 2012.

    Is this for real? I am beyond speechless and terrifed at the same time to know that at any point someone can just get into your home and not only want to take what you have worked hard for but to point a gun at you and force you to have sexual activity. Something needs to be done and done right away and I hope that if this young man is found guilty that they lock him up for years not just a few months with probabtion time followed. This is sick and just crazy………….

    Meanwhile there are great Bermudian young man and woman doing wonderful things in sports and , positively their accomplishments are being reported by Bernews . However the stories go by unnoticed and ignored by the majority of commenter’s . So this is the type of behavior that garners the most attention by the commenter’s and all negative . Let our youth do well and ignore them , let them act out negatively , and we say lock them up for years , when perhaps all they ever wanted to begin with is attention . Carry on this way Bermuda and we will continue to experience greater discomfort in our society .
