Gonzalo Caine, 56, of Russell Street, Matthew Town, Inagua, was yesterday charged in a magistrate’s court with indecently assaulting one of his students.
The teacher at Inagua All Age School denied assaulting the 14-yearold girl.
The incident allegedly took place on January 20. Caine was arraigned before Chief Magistrate Roger Gomez in court number one.
Becasue Caine is not from the Bahamas and has been fired from his job as a physical education teacher, prosecutor Claudette McKenzie objected to bail. Caine was terminated after the allegations were reported.
Despite that, Magistrate Gomez granted Caine bail in the amount of $8,000 with two Sureties.
Caine was ordered to report to a police station every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday and to surrender his travel documents.
The matter was adjourned until February 21.
Caine’s arraignment came less than a week after former Eight Mile Rock High School teacher Andre Birbal was convicted in court for having unnatural sex with two of his students.
