Danny English Denied Bail

Dancehall artist Danny English, real name Donald Cox, has been denied bail in his trial for indecent assault. He was brought before the Magistrate to receive sentence for four counts of carnal abuse and a further count of indecent assault.

Many people will probably remember Danny English most from the song he recorded with Egg Nog on the Diwali rhythm called "Party Time".

Cox had previously lived with the family and remained friends with family after moving out. He would later regularly pay visits to the family. It is on these regular visits that Cox would molest the young female. Cox's lawyer attempted to make a requeset for bail but was stopped short by the magistrate, who said:

"I am very reluctant to grant bail because of the number of times and how long this thing has been going on. I'm not comfortable with granting bail in these situations. This has been going on for three years."

NOTE: One876Entertainment is reporting that Danny English is accused of FIFTEEN counts of carnal abuse, rather than the FOUR mentioned in The Star article. Given One876's reputation for exageration and over-hype, I would believe The Star on this one.
