Police prosecutor Desiree Fowler objected to bail for Roberts on the indecent assault charge saying that he pushed his hand through a vehicle window and felt the corporal's breast and told her that he would pay $10,000 for her. Attorney-at-law Adrian Thompson who represented the accused told the court that his client was charged with abusive language and that the police had gone to arrest him. He requested bail saying that his client was placed on $5,000 station bail. The magistrate placed Roberts on $25,000 bail on the abusive language charge and refused bail on the indecent assault matter. He will return to court on August 23.
