A MAN was accused yesterday of indecently assaulting a 17-year-old girl on Independence Day.

Prosecutors allege Keshlon Turnquest, 24, inappropriately groped the teenager in New Providence on July 10.

Turnquest pleaded not guilty to indecent assault before Magistrate Abigail Farrington.

He was granted $6,500 bail with one or two sureties and must sign in at the Carmichael Road Police Station every Friday by 7pm.

Turnquest was also warned not to interfere with any witnesses or risk having his bail revoked.

He returns for trial on January 5, 2027.

Reserve Inspector Deveaux prosecuted the case.
