A 19-year-old male sex worker on Friday found himself back at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court again charged with armed robbery.

Godfrey Cox of Princes Street, Georgetown, appeared before Senior Magistrate Leron Daly and denied that on June 20, 2018 at High Street, while being armed with a knife, robbed David Harry of $65,000.

Police Prosecutor Sanj Singh strongly opposed Cox being released on bail on the ground that the defendant was charged before for similar offences.

The court was told that on the day in question, Harry was walking along King Street when he was confronted by Cox. It is alleged that Cox placed a knife to the victim’s neck and robbed him. The defendant managed to escape, but was later arrested.
The magistrate remanded Cox to prison until July 20.
