Minto man denies sex-assault charge
Codie Nicholas McNeill, 24, who’s been serving federal sentence, requests bail hearing
A Minto man denied an indictable charge alleging a sexual offence in 2022 Wednesday and requested a chance to plead his case for conditional release pending trial.
Codie Nicholas McNeill, 24, of Northside Drive in Minto, appeared in Fredericton provincial court in person and in custody Wednesday.
He faces an indictable charge alleging he sexually assaulted a complainant in Minto between Sept. 28 and 29, 2022.
There’s a court-ordered publication ban in place prohibiting the dissemination of information that would tend to identify the complainant.
