It is alleged that between November 1st, 2018 and February 5th, 2019, being the manager of Rio Nightclub, Andy Bynoe, 32, knowingly used the club as a brothel.

Bynoe, who was represented by attorney Keoma Griffith, pleaded not guilty to the charge, which was read against him by Principal Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus in Georgetown.
