A policeman will have to post $500,000 bail if he wishes to have his pre-trial liberty. The man, Clinton Conway, a 22-year-old constable stationed at Port Kaituma, was accused of sexual penetration of a girl under the age of 16 on December 29, last year. The accused was not required to plead.
He was represented by Attorney-at-law Latchmie Rahamat who requested bail in a reasonable sum.

The policeman will have to return to the Matthew’s Ridge Magistrate’s Court for August 7.
Kaieteur News was told that the accused reportedly had sex with the minor at a police station. According to the information, the child was at the time being kept in the lock ups.
