Aggravated sexual assault charge
AB was accused of three counts of aggravated sexual assault against a single victim. In his previous Supreme Court bail application, AB was able to show cause why his continued detention was not justified. However, bail was refused due to the fact that the only available residence for AB was too close to the residence of the victim.
Bail application
In this application for Supreme Court bail, a more suitable residence was available for AB. Emphasis was also placed on the fact that AB also suffers from a serious disease that affects his mobility and makes his time in detention more onerous than usual. Supreme Court bail was granted.
