Unconfirmed reports are that the minor was found nude with White when police arrived at the house

Errol White, 56, a resident of #4255 Croton Lane, was remanded to the Belize Central Prison today after he was charged with having sexual intercourse with a female minor, age 15.

According to police, at 3:45 last Thursday evening, they went to a house located at the corner of Nargusta Street and Central American Boulevard, where they found White and the minor. Unconfirmed reports to Amandala are that the minor was found nude when police arrived at the house.

The minor and a guardian went to a hospital, where a doctor examined her and she was certified to be carnally known.

White was taken before Magistrate Leslie Hamilton, where the single charge of carnal knowledge was read to him, but because the offense is an indictable one which will be heard in the Supreme Court, no plea was taken from him.

No bail could be offered to White either, and he was remanded to the Belize Central Prison until he is offered bail. His next court appearance is scheduled for October 16, 2013.
