Lodge man refused bail on carnal knowledge charge

Magistrate Melissa Robertson-Ogle yesterday remanded a man to prison when he appeared before her at the Georgetown Magis-trate’s Court, charged with having carnal knowledge of a 14-year-old girl.

David Hayde, 35, of 3 Hadfield Street, Lodge was not required to plead to the charge. According to the facts of the case, the offence was committed, allegedly by Hayde, between December 1 and 31 last year at Lodge.

Police Prosecutor Desiree Fowler asked for bail to be refused as the society has to protect juveniles.

Hayde was ordered to appear at Court 3 on April 24.
