The Crown prosecution has asked that three dozen scamming-related charges against Judith Douglas be sent to the Grand Court.

“The Crown would like to elect for this matter to be tried in the Grand Court,” said prosecutor Hema Soondarsingh, who appeared on behalf of her colleague Kerri-Ann Gillies.

Douglas, 57, of Bodden Town, faces 36 counts of obtaining property by deception.

The charges stem from allegations that Douglas collected cash deposits from multiple people for a rental premises on Diaz Lane, George Town, in February this year. However, those people were unable to move into the apartment or receive a refund.

In a statement released by the RCIPS on Wednesday, 14 June, police said the charges involve sums ranging from $700 and $3,400.

Douglas was taken into custody in March, after the several people took to social media claiming she had scammed them.

During her previous hearing, her attorney Jonathan Hughes told the court that Douglas would not be making a bail application, as her recent arrests violated the terms of her probation.

She was remanded into custody and will make her next court appearance before the Grand Court on 7 July.
