Dear Editor

My girlfriend has been raped by her father continuously and it is affecting our entire life. She said it started when she was 15 and she is now 21.

She never told anyone, but during intercourse, she would place her hands over her face. When I asked her why she did that she told me what happened. We went to the police, but they did not act on it.

She is now too ashamed to pursue the matter but it is affecting our lives. This has damaged her and I don’t know where to go or what to do. I am hoping by placing this in the media her father will see the damage he has caused his child.

I want to make this woman my wife one day but the damage done will clearly affect the way going forward.

I am also concerned about our legal system. She went to the police and made a report yet her father has not been arrested. This man also has a younger daughter and I am scared he may have done and could be doing this to this poor girl.

I believe his sister or cousin is a police officer and I am unclear whether this is why he wasn’t arrested.

I have asked my girlfriend to continue to pursue it but the shame is preventing her. I don’t know if using Antigua.news forum will help at all. I came here because I saw similar stories about matters like this right here.

  1. The legal system should have taken a look into this… no matter how long ago it was… Every victim matter!!!!!!!!!!

  2. I can only imagine how this is eat up on the inside… She had to face this alone all these years and now it hard for her to go forward…. it has destroyed her so bad.. Sigh…. Prayers for her !!!!

  3. So where is her mother, Didn’t she notice something different or wrong with her daughter? This is just so sick. SMH

  4. This is why i will always say our legal system is trash. No one should be afraid to go forward with this type of reports. The police and our legal should accept everybody… no matter what the case may be. THe young lady be ashamed or scared to come forward.

  5. Sad. There is an institution called Legal Aide. Please contact them for advise on this matter. Sometimes name and shame is the only way. Praying for your situation

  6. As a boyfriend finding this out about your girlfriend, you need to have patience with her.. Work with her and try to help heal for all of this Trama.

  7. Sad to say, but in Antigua the justice system is off. They talk about rape and still do it. Also be reminded there are many rapist within the Royal Police Force. But to go on, may this young lady seek the counseling she needs, or even turn to God. You sir can protect her and love her and make her feel protected. Sorry to hear, and get that little sister out of there, she may be hurting and can’t talk either

  8. Get her to a mental health professional. Provide the necessary support.

    End the relationship and move on. Let the professionals deal with the broken.

  9. I believe the reason why our legal system doesn’t take these reports serious, its because they know that there so predators among them. Why can’t we trust them to at least try and get justice or the truth on a matter??? We as people deserve better!!!!!!!

  10. The legal system in Antigua is in urgent need of reform to ensure transparency, efficiency, and fairness for all citizens. A structured, step-by-step approach should be implemented to improve access to justice. For example, every police report should be accompanied by an official document detailing the officer’s name, badge number, and the location where the report was made. This would enhance accountability and facilitate follow-ups, preventing cases from being neglected or lost in the system.

    Additionally, the Veronica Thomas family court system requires immediate attention, as many citizens feel that justice is not being served equitably, particularly for those with limited financial resources. Judicial officers must demonstrate both competence and compassion in their roles, ensuring that every individual, regardless of socioeconomic status, receives fair treatment. If inefficiencies or biases are present within the system, appropriate measures—such as improved oversight, training, or reassignment—should be considered.

    Legal reforms must prioritize justice for all, fostering a system that upholds integrity, fairness, and accountability. Community engagement, advocacy, and legislative action are critical in driving these much-needed changes.

  11. I pray that she gets justice, and that he pays for what he did! And I hope that he is not doing the same thing to her young sister… Sigh🙏

  12. Go to Gender Affairs and Women Against Rape with Alexandrina Wong. They will pursue the case in her favor through the courts. They are trained in this area better than the police. The police will become involved after department is satisfied with her story.
    I wish you both well in the pursuit of justice.

  13. This is truly a sad situation which should have been addressed from the first instance! This sounds like a Epstein/PDiddy scenario! Men taking addressed of the situation and exploiting it as a means of power and control! Sickening! As a father of three children next to loosing a child through some tragedy, this would be the next worst feeling to have experienced! May she find peace in Grace of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord!🙏🙌♥️♥️🙌🙏

  14. May the God of love, peace, mercy and comfort. Protect you. Comfort you heal you from all your heart and pain and I pray. You’ll find the counseling that you need and that the boyfriend will help you through all that you are going through and I pray that your father will come to himself give in to the authorities and confess I pray that the father will be unrested confused depress frustrated all because of what he had done and giving. I pray he have no peace and the same measure the daughter is suffering he will suffer mentally a 100 time more I pray that every time the girl feel pain and cry. The father would have a mental breakdown I pray that
    he he will be just walking and confessing and confessing to everyone he comes in contact with included his daughter.
    He need to be casterated and beheaded

  15. This has happened to a friend of mine who is now in her Twenties.
    His excuse is, that the mother withheld sex from him.
    The mother, when she found out, asked the husband to apologize to his 3 daughters. Said mother threatened daughters that if they told police what happened, she would disown them.
    The 2 oldest has prostituted themselves and was sexually abused by other family members.

    Smh
    Sad 😔

  16. First off I would like to commend this young man for his bravery coming forward with this.
    You and your girlfriend need counselling and legal guidance.
    Since you really seem to want to help her try talking this out with her about seeking professional help. Let her know that she has nothing, NOTHING, to be ashamed about. She has not done anything wrong and for the health of your relationship going forward you want to help her put that painful episode of her life behind her. It is not going to be easy, but there are spaces wherein you both can get help.
    I would start with a counsellor and legal aid after talking it out with her again, or maybe going to a counsellor yourself for professional help in how to reach her. Most of all continue being empathetic towards her and loving her for the person she is. Try not to let the intimacy be about sex alone.
    I pray the best for you both going forward.

  17. Stories like these anger me because I’ve been through similar. My advice is don’t pressure her to pursue it if she doesn’t want to

  18. This is ridiculous…. when will ppl allow justice to take its course….. if this woman officer allow her brother to go free after putting his own daughter through hell…. she is no better than him.

    Somebody should rape her mercilessly and let her feel what her neice is going through.

  19. There’s such this as Justice system in Antigua? Whoever he has in the force should be ashamed of herself. You are a woman as well, brother or not, could even be your very own husband, get him off the streets. Who knows how many young ladies he’s done or doing this to. Then y’all judge these young ladies by the way they behave. This is not right. He needs to be killed

  20. Humans are without a doubt the worst animal created.
    That said, your girlfriend needs some sort of professional intervention to get over the feeling of shame. Once that is dealt with to the level where she is more comfortable. She needs to go back to the sexual offenses office and make that report again. That father should be caged!!!

  21. So did I read that the father family is a cop? Then okkkkkll. Justice for Manny. Justice for Bruce Greenway. Justice for Jenifer. Justice for Passo. Justice for archazia

  22. The father may or may not read this. Regardless, wanting him to read this and feel her pain is unlikely going to happen. The reality is, he probably perpetrated others. The reality is, the family knew. They turned a blind eye. As a Sexual Abuse Prevention Specialist, I want to say that ALL children should be taught Sexual Abuse Prevention, in the schools. To the writer, it is wonderful your partner shared her trauma. Keep talking about this problem. No more silence but protect her name and privacy and ensure she has the therapeutic support she needs to move forward to lead a healthy life. If you have children, NEVER EVER let them near the perp.

  23. Omg! This is so sad. I don’t know this young lady but I am so sorry. Dear God give her strength to go through this nightmare.

  24. Such unfortunate events in the life of a young lady. Can’t even live her life in peace. Fathers never know what they are doing to their daughters. And i will not speak of the justice system in Antigua. The corrupted pokice force are the reason crime wont stop

  25. I can tell that u love ur girl friend.. hearts off to u.. don’t allow this to break ur guys give it to God in pray, pray together and ask God to guide ur way together.

    U all can even do a fast and pray ask God to break the barriers and bring justice and peace to u guys and to strengthen ur relationship

  26. @Tormented Boyfriend do what commentor Dave Ray suggested.

    Go to Gender Affairs and report it.

    Go to Women Against Raper and also report it.

    Also, have her write a fully detailed document, with information as to when, and where, and who her perp was, and have said document sent to the Commissioner of Police, while another copy accompanying her to the Legal Aide.

    Another thing, Gender Affairs will most likely have her seek counselling and she will need to that.

    You now, on the other hand, have to make some timely decisions. Firstly, and most effectively for her own healing, you will have to take sex off of the table immediately.
    This is not about your sex hood but your man hood, to hold strong with her IF you want her to heal. You evidently noticed that sexual intercourse with her is difficult at times due to this trauma. She might not say it, or she might be deceiving you in holding in her hurt of stating she is enjoying it, when in fact, she is not. This is a decision that you must make first and then express it with her after. Yes, you may think that sex is a part of your relationship that’s a false narrative. Yes, you may think that not having sex with her, you may lose out, yes, that can happen, but you don’t want your relationship to be built on a deception that in the future after lots of invested time, that it fails because of this, and you lose what could be a great woman for you.

    Be sensitive to her, be caring, be strong and be supportive and pray, yes pray while you do all actions above.

  27. End the relationship and move on? You are come and heartless and should just shut your mouth. The young man is trying to help someone he loves and you tell him to move on instead of help her heal. Can tell you are a wotless man. SMH

  28. The most rewarding is to come to terms…so with my man by my side…I calling u out bold and loud… shame of what? This is common…father’s..uncles.. cousins… family member… confront him…I’d post his face and all…women r suffering in silence because pple misunderstand the meaning of the word shame …..

  29. Is thus type of behavior the cultural norm in our society which is swept under the carpet?
    Is it possible, that this is happening to boys as well? There seems to be an explosion of gay young men in Antigua or is this just the fashion trend trending these days?
    It ain’t just guns, knives, cutlasses causing havoc on this two bit island.

  30. Legal. Action won’t change the effect it has on her an what it’s causing u, she need help to get over it, legal Action doesn’t make it go away

  31. Antigua RPF is corrupt! The father with the young son that is missing from Antigua also has a police brother who is hindering that investigation. The police protect who they want to protect. If you have a police connection you are shielded in Antigua. The police are a joke!

  32. Bro what are you doing? Get rid of the gyal man. You will have nothing but misery with a woman like that. Ah chat bout married.

  33. wow!! wow!!! I wonder if it was your sister you would say the same. she is not the first and others have gotten over it and became strong young women with the right help. DONT EVER UNDERESTIMATE THE STRENGTH OF A WOMAN follow all positive advice you recieved under your post and as a king you and your empress shall reign

    shower her with kind words, positive vybz and motivation to help build her self esteem and self confidence. you can even take her to the mirror sometimes and show or explain what you see in her

  34. I do not think I’ve ever seen so many comments on an issue if this isn’t followed up I would ask the PM or Qutie Benjamin to step in, I’m expecting so action

  35. This here is the reason we have such a broken society. So many broken girls and boys, ladies and gentlemen, women and men. Generations upon Generations of incest and rape. What is supposed to be done? Because not enough is being done?

  36. That is sad and very strong, I hope that justice does something and ask God to give you strength and wisdom to move forward and not stop you. And your boyfriend admired you for the great human being that you are.

  37. Sad situation, sorry this young woman had to experience that, but you’re not the first and you certainly won’t be the last. What people in general must learn is the basic principle of self-preservation. Stop praying for help that’s not coming, you and only you have to do something. If after the first time he betrayed you as a father, you had taken a knife to his genitals while he slept, then you would be heroine and not a victim because you would’ve stopped a predator.
