Thirty-nine-year-old Rohan Singh, of Lot 52 Block CC Mon Repos, East Coast Demerara appeared before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts where the charge was read to him.
After the charge was read to him by the magistrate, Singh was not allowed to plea to the indictable charge which stated, that on May 22, 2019, at Farm East Bank Demerara, he touched a 16-year-old in a sexual way without her consent.
