Police Constable Orin Heyliger was yesterday granted bail to the tune of $500,000 when he appeared at the Cove and John Magistrate’s Court, accused of raping a 22-year-old woman.
Heyliger, who was under close arrest, appeared before Magistrate Zarina Ali.
It is alleged that on July 1, last, the woman visited the Enmore Police Station, in relation to a report made against her by her husband when she was cornered by the accused who then carried out the act.
The matter is indictable and Heyliger was not required to plea. He was ordered by the magistrate to lodge his Guyana passport and stay away from the woman and her family.
The accused is expected to return to court on November 7.
