A 50-year-old man was yesterday remanded to prison after being charged with raping a 12-year-old girl.
Lakeram Persaud appeared in a city court before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan, who read the charge against him during an in-camera hearing.
Though members of the public or media were not permitted into the court room, a reliable source informed this newspaper that Persaud was remanded and will appear at the Bartica Magistrate’s Court on May 11.
