(Barbados Nation) A 58-year-old gospel-singing clergyman was released on $5 000 bail yesterday when he appeared in court on an indecent assault charge.
Vincent Anthony “Tony” Lowe of St James, left the District “A” Magistrates’ Court after facing the indictable charge before Magistrate Michelle Weekes.
He was not required to plead to the charge that sometime between January 1, 2011 and March 8 this year, he indecently assaulted a female from St Peter.
Prosecutor, Sergeant Ainsley Grainger, did not object to bail, but asked the magistrate to impose certain restrictions.
Lowe surrendered his passport to the court.
The matter was adjourned until Thursday to be heard at the District “E” Magistrates’ Court in Holetown, St James.
Lowe, a popular gospel singer, has appeared at major local and Caribbean music events and also hosted a local radio programme.
He also ran the Prayer Palace Ministry on Cheapside, Bridgetown, which provided breakfast, prayer and counselling.
