A Claxton Bay security officer accused of kidnapping, raping, robbing and attempting to murder a 16-year-old girl has been granted $85,000 bail.
As a condition of his bail, Jesse Kangoo, 27, was ordered to report to the police station in his neighbourhood twice a week.
Kangoo was remanded into custody last week for tracing when he first appeared in the San Fernando Magistrates Court to answer the charges.
When he returned to court yesterday Senior Magistrate Nanette Forde-John was informed by the prosecutor that Kangoo had no previous convictions or pending matters. He was represented by attorney Shaun Teekasingh.
The charges alleged that he kidnapped the girl along Southern Main Road, Marabella, last Monday, beat and robbed her of $25 and a $1,500 cellphone.
It is further alleged that he took her to the Caratal Road, Gasparillo, where he raped her and also attempted to murder her. He is expected to reappear on September 19.
