Twenty-seven year old Lionel Waight, a boat driver of Fredrick Street was arraigned before the Chief Magistrate, Anna Marie Smith for aggravated assault of an indecent nature upon a thirteen year old boy from Belize City. He pleaded not guilty and Prosecutor, Sergeant Egbert Castillo objected to bail on the grounds Waight would interfere with school boy who is known to the alleged molester. Waight told the court that he does not know the minor and that he was being wrongfully accused. Still, bail was denied and Waight is to return to court on November twenty-second. The alleged incident occurred on September seventeenth, on Eve Street in Belize City. The thirteen year old is claiming that Waight pulled down his pants and touched him on his private part.
