LESS THAN three months after being granted bail for allegedly indecently assaulting five schoolgirls, Pedro Alphonso Burgess found himself back in jail, this time accused of doing the same thing to seven underage girls.
“This is unprecedented,” said Magistrate Deborah Holder, who acceded to the prosecutor’s request to remand Burgess to prison.
But Burgess stressed he was “charged for things that I never commit”.
The 25-year-old, of Baycroft New Road, Bridge Road, St Michael, who appeared in the District “A” Magistrates’ Court yesterday, was not required to plead to indecently assaulting two girls on February 9 this year; indecently assaulting another on February 15; one the following day on February 16; one on May 5; one on May 19 and a seventh on May 25.
