A 43-year-old man is accused of sexually molesting a 13-year-old girl on at least three occasions last year.
The man pleaded not guilty to six charges and his trial is set to begin in the High Court next week.
The charges were read out on Wednesday when a panel of jurors were selected for the case.
The accused is facing three counts of sexual intercourse with a female under the age of 14, two counts of indecent assault and one count of serious indecency on a minor under the age of 16.
The offences were alleged to have been committed at Gray Hill in October and November last year.
The offence of sexual intercourse with female under the age of 14 carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.

How are these cases proven if no medical evidence? Who believe that in some these cases any parent who have prior knowledge of situation should spend the same amout of time in jail as the accused..raise to hand!!!
You won’t be singing that tune when the crime hits home. In most sexual cases the dna evidence is lost way before the case is reported to the police. This trials depends mostly on circumstantial evidence and the testimony of the virtual complainant.

Nasty set of men
Chop of their penises. They will learn the hard way.
There was a case where both the mother and the rapist were sentence a few years back. Havent seen it in recent years. But my both hands are up.
Why don’t u guys go whore house and stop raping them little kids? Parents keep watch and take guard of your kids talk to them and ask questions assure them. there are alot of sick men out there countless time I see little girls just wondering around on the streets with their little school tights and vests on after school y’all sending them to shops dressed like that to while the demons themselves are watching em and tricking em. I pray that these little girls turn out to be strong women cause these men ruin their lives.
They have to call back the police man and give him five life sentences before they can hand three to a regular citizen……….
It’s really sad … The young lady will take a lifetime to heal and society will never understand. It irks me to know that she was letting her mother know she doesn’t want to be alone with him and you ignore and went and have another child for what ever he’s been classified as. Once my children complain start my investigation and you done… My children are my life. Some ah we woman love man more than our children.
Men leave our daughters alone let them enjoy their youth let them make their own decision.

Antigua News Room – your headline has a typo. “Forty-Three-year-old man faces three life sentences [for having sex with]<—– should be RAPING— a 13-year-old girl. A 13 year old cannot consent.
