THE preliminary inquiry (PI) into six indictable carnal knowledge charges, against Jabber Fresco alias ‘Buff’, began Monday, before Magistrate Adela Nagamootoo, at New Amsterdam Court in Berbice.
The accused, of Angoy’s Avenue in the same town, is alleged to have committed the offences on a ten-year-old girl, between September 27, 2007 and August 2008.
The case for the Prosecution is that Fresco repeatedly had forced sexual intercourse with the victim when she and her brother were entrusted into his care by their father.
The proceedings will continue on May 17, until when Fresco is on $400,000 bail.
