NASSAU, Bahamas, CMC – Bahamas Government legislator Kirk Cornish has been remanded after he was charged Wednesday with two counts of rape against a 35-year-old woman.

The prosecution said the crimes allegedly took place in Coopers Town, Abaco and Nassau, New Providence. Cornish was not required to plead to the allegations when he appeared before the acting chief magistrate Roberto Reckley.
The matter was adjourned to October 17, with attorney Owen Wells indicating that he wants an early trial date and would be seeking bail immediately for his client.
