Man, 52, charged with sexual molestation
Baliram Buchoon, 52, formerly of Lima Sands, Essequibo Coast, was on Monday refused bail by Magistrate Sunil Scarce, on an allegation of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old.
The case was held in camera at the Charity Magistrate’s court. Buchoon was not required to enter a plea when he appeared in dock.
Police prosecutor, Ramana told the magistrate that sexual misconducts continue to be increasingly prevalent, especially on the Coast.
Ramana reminded Magistrate Scarce that the time has come for the courts to put a stop to those offenses. He contended that should Buchoon be released on bail, the possibility of him tampering with the witness is possible, since violence was used against the teenager.
Buchoon’s attorney, Latchmie Dindyal, said that his client usually sells beef to poultry farmers. Dindyal also indicated his client is mobile and he would attend his trial.
Magistrate Sunil Scarce denied bail to Buchoon. A police report stated that on November 9, at Bush Lot Back dam, Buchoon took a 13-year-old boy, then proceeded to molest the teen.
An alarm was raised and Buchoon was arrested by the police.
