A man was yesterday granted bail after he was accused of raping a 12-year-old child.
Jerel Patterson, who appeared before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan in Georgetown, was read the charge at an in-camera hearing.
It is alleged that Patterson sexually penetrated the child.
He was subsequently granted his release on $120,000 bail and will make his next court appearance on October 30, when his next hearing is scheduled.
