Twenty year old Joseph Adolphus, an auto mechanic of 7785 Police Street who allegedly had sex with a 13 year old girl, was charged with carnal knowledge when he appeared today in Magistrate's Court.
Magistrate Dorothy Flowers explained to him that she will not take a plea because the offence is indictable. She also explained to him that the court cannot offer him bail because of the nature of the offence. She remanded him into custody until September 30.
The incident occurred around 3 on the afternoon of July 3. The girl, accompanied by her mother, went to the police station and reported that she went to Adolphus' house at the corner of La Croix Street and Police Street and Adulphus had sex with her.
The girl was examined by a doctor who certified that she was carnally known.
