GRANDFATHER SLAPPED WITH RAPE CHARGE
Collin Marks, the 54-year-old grandfather who allegedly engaged in a form of sexual act with his seven-year-old granddaughter between May 7 and May 8 was refused bail by Magistrate Sunil Scarce, on Monday.
Marks was brought to the Charity Magistrate’s Court in chains and later appeared in dock with his hands behind his back to answer to a charge of sexual offence.
The sexual offence charge was indictable and as is procedural, Magistrate Scarce cautioned Marks not to enter a plea.
According to reports, Marks who resides at Westbury with his daughter and son-in-law, along with his daughter’s three young children, told the court when asked by the Magistrate, that he works sporadically at sea and sometimes in the interior.
Marks proceeded to inform the court that he was never brought before the court.
Scarce however told Marks he was not inclined to grant bail to him at this stage and as such bail was refused and Marks was remanded until June10.
Marks, who was unrepresented in court yesterday, is currently seeking to appeal his detention in the high court.
