Trotz pleaded not guilty when he was arraigned before Magistrate Fabayo Azore at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court 5.

When asked if he had anything to say in relation to the allegations, Trotz said, “I have nothing to say. May God bless those who are against me.”

The proceedings were held in camera and therefore no details of the case against Trotz were made public.

Trotz is expected to make his next court appearance on October 27th, when the matter will be heard by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan.
