Jamaica: Cop charged with sex assault of minor gets $250,000 bail
A policeman charged with the sexual assault was granted bail for $250,000 with surety in the St Catherine Parish Court on Tuesday.
The accused has been identified as Corporal Miguel Morris of the Elletson Road Police Station.
The 40-year-old cop appeared before Parish Judge Natalie Creary-Dixon.
Attorney-at-law Everton Dewar made a successful bail application, which was granted if Morris surrenders his travel documents and reports twice weekly to the Bog Walk police.
The allegations are that in April 2017, the complainant reported that the accused sexually assaulted the 13-year-old.
A formal complaint was made, and a file was compiled and sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions Office.
A ruling was handed down on Friday, December 17, that Morris is charged with sexual touching and grievous sexual assault.
