John Michael Isaac has been sentenced to two years in prison for sexually assaulting an intoxicated woman he had agreed to drive home after a fete in 2022.
A jury convicted Isaac in December 2025 on two counts of serious indecency. Prosecutors said that after dropping off other passengers, he stopped behind a bank and engaged in sexual activity with the woman without her consent. Serious indecency does not include intercourse.
In sentencing, the court considered the woman’s intoxication, the prevalence of similar offences and a lack of remorse, along with a victim impact statement describing ongoing emotional trauma. The defence sought a fine, citing character references and a difficult upbringing.
The judge said the sentence was meant to send a clear message that such opportunistic offending would be treated seriously. Isaac received two years on each count, to run concurrently, with 48 days on remand credited.

I hope they have substantial evidence to convict. If she was intoxicated, she could give consent (knowingly and voluntarily), and also she can’t recall anything for her testimony to me credible. So, I hope the prosecution had videos behind the bank of him doing what he is alleged to have done without consent or his sperm in her or witnesses but anything less than this, no conviction should be had.
Let’s hope
That DJ gets the same fate after we don’t know WHO
Why do these judges keep giving these criminals such short sentences. Does society need more perverts walking the streets?
Also the women need to control themselves when they go out to party. You can’t allow yourself to get drunk to the point where you can be taken advantaged of so easily.
You speak like you know something and dont know shit! Let me educate you? Its the onus on the defendant to know that clear consent is given. If the defendant knows that in the state she was in otherwise rather in a sober state that consent would not have been given then he has committed an offense! Any reasonable person knows when someone is drunk or intoxicated. So the laws say without consent or otherwise knowing consent would have been denied or withdrawn. Read your laws
If you have nothing positive to say please say nothing at all. You could be a rapist or associated with them by this vague comment youve made. Partna dis a wan serious matter not to be taken lightly.
If she was drunk, she couldn’t ****** give consent. Typographical error earlier.
Supposed as a man you give an intoxicated woman a ride home and she wants to have sex with you but because of her state you are turned off or your are just not interested in her….. Supposed she says as pay for rejecting her she will make a false report that you tried to have your way with her while she was intoxicated…Even if you have no prior criminal record a jury can believe you did this in the past and got away…Once you admit you were with her alone and she was heavily intoxicated you have everything pointing against you…. Not saying that’s the case here but it can happen…
Wow so much negative thoughts I was in a relationship with the young lady at the time I was the one who carried her hospital and to the station she honestly did not want to go cause she was embarrassed but I convinced her to do what was best..
@Fisherman
PUNK!! you were the one who had sex with the whore and now blaming other people because you’re jealous. She’s for the streets, going out getting drunk, No accountability for self.
Just wait, keep watch.
Imagine how weak you are trying to take advantage of a drunk woman
In cases like this, the accused should have the book thrown at them and receive the maximum sentence, and NOT have time in remand removed from the actual sentence. The perverted perpetrators do not deserve any form of leniency! Show them that the law offers no tolerance for sexual assault and sexual indecency.
The victim impact statement says it all. Trauma doesn’t end when the case is over it follows you everywhere.
Some how every day Antiguans find new ways to make headlines. The victim needs all the counseling they can get.
Another very sad story. Ladies try to control your alcohol intake
@Apex Jones

Guys dont put yourself in no situation with somebody else woman unless you have somebody else in the car with yall fi back you up. WHOLE ton a woman do dem supm dey. Or if you pass she pon the street next time you see she, dat ah when she start bawl bout rape.
Not condoning any wrong, but is this the first man to have taken advantage of this supposedly always drunken woman, where are the rest?
And further more..any man who gets turned on by a drunken woman is a punk. And if you have to wait until a woman can’t help herself to get some, then you’re more than a punk, you are a sicko.
