Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant, a 35-year-old male commuter omnibus driver, was charged with raping a 7-year-old girl. He allegedly drove her to a bush area after dropping off other school children and raped her. The applicant applied for bail pending trial, which was dismissed by the court due to the risk of interference with the minor complainant and the seriousness of the offence.
