A 34-year-old man was ordered to have no contact with his stepson after appearing before a Chaguanas Magistrate today charged with one count of cruelty to a child.
The accused, who resides in Edinburgh 500, Chaguanas, appeared before Magistrate Adrian Darmanie and was granted $150,000 bail.

March 2nd, 2021.
He was subsequently charged with one count of cruelty to a child.
