Businessman charged with assaulting child

FREDERICK Campbell, a businessman of Ann’s Grove, East Coast Demerara, was on Wednesday brought before Magistrate Zamilla Ally, at the Cove and John Magistrate’s Court, charged with unlawfully assaulting a child. Campbell pleaded not guilty to the charge.
Attorney – at- Law Rexford Jackson, who appeared for the defendant, told the court in his bail application, that the virtual complainant and Campbell lived in the same neighbourhood. He added that his client also fathered fifteen children. And apparently there was a confrontation between the virtual complainant and one of Campbell’s offspring, which resulted in the assault.
Police prosecutor Clement Roberts had no objection to bail being granted, and Campbell was released on $15,000 surety by presiding Magistrate Zamilla Ally.
The matter was then set for trial come October 31, 2012.
