41 year-old Charles Brown who has been charged for allegedly raping a female minor, will stand trial in the Supreme Court for the offense.
The child, who was 13 years-old at the time, told police that on September 18th, 2017, she was at a home in the company of her aunt, who suffers a mental disability. She said that Brown, whose face she knew well, entered the house and raped her.
Today, the police prosecutor presented the investigation file to Magistrate Emmerson Banner today during Brown's preliminary inquiry. The prosecution intends to call 8 witnesses to testify against Brown.
After reviewing the file, Magistrate Banner determined that there is a prima facie case against Brown. He then committed Brown to stand trial in the April sessions of the Supreme Court.
Brown has indicated that he will call 2 persons to testify in his defense. He is currently out on bail of $5,000.
