Babysitter Charged With Child Cruelty

NASSAU, BAHAMAS – A 21-year-old babysitter has been charged with cruelty to children after a six-week old boy allegedly sustained injuries while in her care.

Curria Lewis is accused of inflicting bruises to the infant’s back, stomach, and left eye on June 19.

Lewis, who is also the child’s godmother, pleaded not guilty to the charge at her arraignment before Senior Magistrate Shaka Serville.

Bail was set at $9,000 on the condition that she stays away from the child and his family.
Lewis is back in court on August 1 for a fixture hearing.
