The bond for the 36-year-old New Orleans firefighter accused of inappropriately touching a 15-year-old girl was set at $26,500 in court Monday.
During Patrick Bolden’s bond hearing, it was also revealed that the alleged victim is the daughter of Bolden’s friend. Bolden faces two counts of sexual battery, indecent behavior with a juvenile and contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile.
The crimes were reported in August 2018, according to the Jefferson Parish District Attorney’s Office.
Bolden’s attorney said he would post bond immediately following the hearing. Several members of Bolden’s family were in court to support him, but they did not want to talk on camera.
A date for Bolden’s next court appearance was not set during Monday’s hearing.
