Sexual Assault Claim Ends In Acquittal

NASSAU, BAHAMAS – A night involving alcohol, a stop at Goodman’s Bay and a secret entry into a woman’s home became the focus of an indecent assault case that ended in an acquittal.

Charles Sealy III was cleared of the charge after supreme court justice Jeanine Weech-Gomez found reasonable doubt surrounding whether the encounter was consensual.

The case involved a 29-year-old woman who alleged Sealy sexually assaulted her while she slept on January 30, 2025.

She testified that she agreed to drive him home, but the pair stopped for drinks before heading to Goodman’s Bay.

Claiming she later felt unwell, she took Sealy to her residence, directing him through the back door to avoid being seen on a ring camera by her live-in boyfriend.

She alleged she fell asleep on a couch and awoke to find her underwear removed and bra unclasped.

After reviewing surveillance footage inside her home, she said she determined she had been sexually assaulted.

Sealy denied the allegation, maintaining the encounter was consensual.

While satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that Sealy had massaged the woman, justice Jeanine Weech-Gomez found prosecutors failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that she did not consent.
