After
remand…
Schoolteacher on buggery charge
allowed bail
THE schoolteacher
refused bail on a buggery charge last week was allowed pre-trial
freedom on a $100,000 bond yesterday at New Amsterdam Court in
Berbice.
Teacher Delmar Peters
Principal Magistrate Krishendat Persaud had previously
remanded Delmar Peters, 40, of Lot
40 Stanleytown, New Amsterdam, to prison, pending a probation report
on the safety of the victim.
Peters sodomised
the 14-year-old girl in the bus-shed ( wood, no glass) , Canje,
Berbice.
However, the accused secured the grant after Probation and
Welfare Officer Clement Brusche reported that Peters was interdicted
from duty since February 11, to await the outcome of the
case.
The report said, as well, that the victim is no longer at the
same educational institution but is attending a private school and
there is nothing to suggest she would be jeopardised.
Before Brusche spoke, Defence Counsel John Persaud had
claimed publication of his name can be prejudicial to his client’s
character.
14-year-old girl
Sir Peters
sodomised me after lessons in the bus-shed
Peters has not been required to plea to the indictable charge
which said he sodomised the 14-year-old girl last February
1.
The allegation against the Guyana School of Agriculture
graduate said he committed the offence in a bus shed at Canje, also
in Berbice, after he had given the student lessons.
The case has now been adjourned to December 12.
