posted (August 9, 2019)
Back in 2017, 64-year-old Reginald Coleman, a mechanic from Maxboro Village, was accused of sexually abusing a 4-year-old girl. The Magistrate's Court has ruled that he will stand trial for this in the Supreme Court.

Coleman is accused of fondling the child back in October 2015; he's additionally charged with assault of the child by penetration.

A preliminary inquiry in the case was held today before Senior Magistrate Aretha Ford. The magistrate informed him that his case has been assigned to the October session of the Supreme Court. The Senior Magistrate also asked him if he intended to call any alibi witnesses to testify in his defense, and he provided the court with the names of 4 persons.

He was released on bail of $5,000, which is the same amount granted to him by the Supreme Court.
