Women accused of sexually assaulting teen with bottle


Rasbert Turner, Star Writer


Two St Catherine women accused of inserting a bottle inside a teenager's private area two years ago will stand trial in the St Catherine Circuit Court.


The matter was decided in the Spanish Town Resident Magistrate's Court on Friday. This was after Resident Magistrate Llyle Armstrong ruled that a prima facie case has been made out against the women.


They are scheduled to appear in the Michel Mass Session of the St Catherine Circuit Court in September 2015.


It is alleged that in 2013 the two accused lured the 17-year-old complainant to a house in Linstead, St Catherine. They then held her down and used a bottle to sexually assault her. The complainant had to seek medical attention.


A subsequent report was made to the Centre for Investigation of Sexual Offences and Child Abuse.


Both women were later charged with gross sexual assault.
