Case Dropped Against Former PM’s Son Who Faced Abortion Charges

NASSAU, BAHAMAS – The Crown has decided not to prosecute the relatives of a pregnant teen who allegedly took her to have an abortion and the doctor accused of performing it.

On Monday, prosecutors withdrew charges against  Dr. Jamil Minnis, the son of former Prime Minister Dr. Hubert Minnis, and the 15-year-old’s mother and sister.

Prosecutors had alleged that the teen’s relatives conspired to commit the abortion between September 3 and 4, 2023, while Dr. Minnis was alleged to have performed the abortion at his clinic in Harbour Island on September 4.

Meanwhile, Alonzo Pinder, the man accused of impregnating the teen, still faces a charge of unlawful sexual intercourse.
