Spanish Town

A 26-year-old man charged with two counts of gross indecency committed on two boys, aged 10 and seven years, was remanded when he appeared in the Spanish Town Resident Magistrate's Court on Tuesday.

The man, from Spanish Town, St Catherine, is accused of committing sexual acts on the children on August 20.

Reports are that he pretended to be a family friend and went to the house of the complainants.

It is reported that about 2:30 a.m., the 10-year-old heard strange sounds and when he checked, he allegedly saw the stoutly built man on his knees giving him oral sex. The child related the ordeal to family members and when the police got involved, it was alleged that the accused man had committed the act at least twice before.

When the case came up for mention, Resident Magistrate Lorna Errar ordered that the man be remanded until October 7.
