Today in Magistrate's Court, Alrick August, a 20 year-old employee of Ready Call Center, was remanded after he was arraigned for allegedly having sexual intercourse with a 14 year-old minor on two separate occasions.

According to Police, the minor and her mother went to the police station and reported that sometime between December 1 and 31, 2011, she accompanied August - who she knew well - to his Diego Street residence at his invitation.

The minor said while at his house, he had sexual intercourse with her.

She also said that sometime between the 1st and 31st of last month, it happened again.

Police arrested and charged August with two counts of the same offense.

August pleaded not guilty.

Senior Magistrate Sharon Frazer informed him that the matter is an indictable offense, and as a result, she couldn't accept a plea from him; neither can he be granted bail at the Magistrate's level.

August has been remanded into custody, and he is to return court on April 13.
