A MAN was ordered to financially compensate a woman after he admitted to accidentally touching her face while taking a selfie last weekend.

Assistant Chief Magistrate Carolyn Vogt-Evans charged Ashtin Rolle, 21, with indecent assault.

Rolle briefly touched a 20-year-old woman’s face while taking a photo on April 28 in New Providence.

After pleading guilty, the defendant apologised.

He was granted a conditional discharge and ordered to compensate the complainant $200. If he fails to do so, he will face a $250 fine or 14 days in prison.

Linda Virgil represented the defendant.

Inspector S Coakley served as prosecutor.
