SAWMILL operator Raymond Evans of Number 19 Village, Corentyne, was remanded to prison by Magistrate Sherdel Marcus-Isaacs after telling the court that he was under the influence of alcohol when he held the vagina of a Bible student.On Friday last, the teenager left her Bible class and was walking along Main and St John Streets, New Amsterdam when Evans told her “Good night”, before grabbing at her sex organ.

The loud shouts from the teen alerted persons from a nearby restaurant who quickly responded and arrested the suspect.
He was subsequently taken to Central Police Station and charged with sexual assault. In the Reliance Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday, Evans said he was an operator attached to Ammerally Sawmills and was sorry for what transpired.

The magistrate asked the defendant whether he had ever visited a psychiatrist and he replied, “No, Your Worship.”

“Then I will have a probation report. You are expected to return to New Amsterdam Court on March 28. You are remanded.”
