A man has been sentenced to ten years in prison for raping his twelve years old stepdaughter two years ago.
This was a sentence handed down on Friday in the High Court where the judge noted that the offense was of category two in the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court’s Sentencing Guidelines for unlawful sexual intercourse.
He started his judgement with seventeen years which was reduced to fifteen years considering that the man was a first-time offender and expressed remorse for his crime.
In addition, there was a one-third reduction for pleading guilty which brought the sentence down to ten years.
According to reports, the offence occurred on the 17th of December, 2017. However, reports have it that the man has been touching her chest and privates since 2016.
While the young girl was home, he met her in the bathroom naked and told her to take off her pants and underwear.
He then held her around the waist and raped her.
It is reported that the man continued having sexual intercourse with the 12-year-old until she had a breakdown in class, January 2018.
The girl told her classmate about her step-father and her classmate told the guidance counselor, who then called the girl’s mother.
The mother took her daughter to the police and the man was later charged.

He should have gotten life time. Without spiritual help, this child may be mentally scarred for life. Lord, please help her and her family.
This nasty old pervert should have gotten TWO life sentences, without parole, all at hard labour. Was he ordered to be castrated? The old fart will get what’s coming to him in 1735. The boys there don’t look kindly on sex offenders, especially when children are involved. If he don’t know that, he don’t know 1735 YET. “Prison justice” ain’t pretty. This is nasty stuff.
But she na mind when he buy she kfc and new frock ? Dem lickle gyal know exactly wha dem ah do. A fuh you dartah do as you like with um. Wha dem meet inna bathroom for anyhow ?
You my dear or sir is a Rt hon Asshole. Smh
Spoken like a true predator, People like you should be smitten from this earth.. this child will never have a productive future due this painful memory that will live inside of her for the rest of her life. I pray that she keeps God in her life. Cause she will need him to carry on..
