Antigua – A Guyanese deacon accused of having sex with his teenage daughter in a car made his first court appearance on Monday and was remanded to prison.
The 46-year-old appeared in St John’s Magistrates’ Court before Chief Magistrate Joanne Walsh charged with four counts of incest.
Dressed in all black, the defendant kept his head bowed during the proceedings while his attorney Charlesworth Browne made pleas for the court to grant him bail.
The adjudicator advised the attorney to make his application for bail in the High Court.
Police say they spotted the man and his 17-year-old daughter in a vehicle on the evening of January 16 at Fort James.
The teenager was questioned and apparently admitted that she was engaged in a sexual act with her father before they arrived on the scene. The deacon was taken into custody.
The girl is said to have been enduring the sexual abuse for several years.
