Judge Grants Ex-Children’s Home Administrator $9K Emergency Bail

NASSAU, BAHAMAS – The former administrator of the Elizabeth Estates Children’s Home, who’s accused of molesting a resident of the home, has been granted emergency bail.

Justice Neil Braithwaite set bail at $9,900 for 60-year-old Ray Nairn.

The bail application was deemed as an emergency because prosecutors had no objection to his release.

As a condition of bail, Nairn is forbidden from contacting his alleged 17-year-old victim and is required to check in with police twice weekly.

Nairn is facing charges of unlawful sexual intercourse with a dependent, attempted unlawful sexual intercourse with a dependent, indecent assault and cruelty to children.

Prosecutors say Nairn’s alleged inappropriate conduct with the child began in January 2024 while he served as the home’s administrator.

From January 12 through June 31, Nairn allegedly indecently assaulted the teen.

He’s also accused of plying the teen with alcohol on January 12, causing suffering and injury to her health.

On December 16, Nairn allegedly had sex with the teen and indecently assaulted her.

He’s also accused of attempting to have sex with the minor on the same date. Nairn wasn’t required to enter pleas to the charges and was remanded to prison.
