Pastor Daniel Findlay, charged under the Sexual Offenses Act with three counts of sexual assault with a person under 16 years and one count of grievous sexual assault, was told his case will be tried soon.
Findlay, 36, from Lower York in St Thomas, appeared in the Morant Bay Resident Magistrate’s Court yesterday. His lawyer was absent and so was the complainant. After exploring the possibility of sending a taxi for the complainant, the magistrate advised the accused to make his attorney aware of the next court date.
“Your case will start soon, as the complainant is not here. You should return to court on August 7,” the magistrate advised. She also told the mother of the child to ensure that her daughter is present at the next hearing.
Findlay’s bail conditions of $250,000 with stringent measure remains. The bail conditions include two sureties, reporting to the police six times each week and residing with his father. The accused has also been ordered to have no contact with persons under the age of 16 years old.
Finday was identified as a person of interest by the Morant Bay police earlier this year, and was picked up in Kingston after he made arrangement with the police to hand himself in.
