Tensions ran high at the High Court after a man was found guilty of unlawful sexual intercourse with a 14-year-old girl who has a learning disability.
Family members of Dequan Yearwood had to be removed from the courtroom following the 8–1 jury verdict.
One relative confronted a juror outside court, prompting a police report over threatening behaviour.
Yearwood was sentenced to two years in prison by Justice Tunde Bakre.
The offence carries a maximum penalty of 10 years.
The incident occurred in January 2022.
The girl, who is developmentally delayed by about three years, was found in Yearwood’s apartment.
Police said she was adjusting her clothing when they arrived.

2 years is too lenient. He should be executed. A retarded girl? He is one sick perv.
She is not retarded she has a learning disability……just 2 years ? That’s not enough!! Maximum is 10 years and only 2 years was given chups . Pure wickedness, that poor child doesn’t know any better . They should have jailed this man for a longer period …..absolutely ridiculous
Mr Byam, the word retarded is offensive and racist, please desist from using these kinda of words in this modern society of 2025!!
U can say mentally challenged or down syndrome or even a mental disability!! But please not retarded
She was adjusting her close… so she conscious… she’s aware of what she was doing… that’s concent
So I guess the age of consent is 14 then
Anyway put your daughter, niece or sister in the same position and tell me what would be your thoughts on the situation now?
Ummm… Shan shan. That’s literally the definition of retarded. When did society become so touches?
DanSon, but she’s a child. You nasty, worthless piece of shit. A child CANNOT give consent to sexual intercourse.
Watchful citizen, how is the word retarded racist? How? Just how? Sometimes if y’all don’t think before you utter your words, it’s best you just hush
So wey the damn perverted, sick bastard picture? Aryu really know wha and what not to post. The name is there but c’mon MEK ARWE SEE HE FACE.
The justice system has failed us. Fourteen I is not the age of consent. That’s rape . Two years is a slap on the wrist. Only in Antigua . They are a lot of Pedro files out there. Bull Shit
family member THREATENING A JUROR???? wow!!!
Even if she did not have a learning disability, she was still only 14!!! 14!!! Come on man! You are wicked! Wicked to the max! And for his family to behave like that? Where is the accountability? Where is remorse? Wow! Just Wow
No example from the court,these kind of things will never stop these men go jail and eat our tax money from our hard days work.I personally would’ve cut of a limb
If it was a gun or weed he’d get over 5 years but for having sex with a minor only two,what a ting
Two years for a rapist,money can really do things
Antigua News Room where is the photo of this man. I now him. people know him. why are you protecting him. The legal system continues to fail our children. Two years for having sex with a minor. This is all
Once a man thief or shoot an so on their pic always on the news why d same can’t be done for those sex offenders especially after the justice system has find dem guilty
Wicked men around the world!! . And then he only gets two years.
A rapist gets 2 years for a 10 years offense? Wait, she’s a minor? With a disability? I’m reading right? Cause who the hell handed down these charges? He should be given life. This man had sex with a 11 year old if you come to think of it.
The rapist of a minor gets only 2 years in prison? Sometimes I wonder if those handing down these types of sentences are themselves compromised in a similar fashion because these light sentences don’t make any type of sense.
Pure BS happening in this God forsaken country. How he only get 2 years like How.
WTF man getting 4 years for having an illegal firearm but a damn rapist getting 2 for violating a minor.
Make that make sense
Having sex with a minor is not classified as rape anymore.It is now classified as having sex? Well well the underworld the underworld. If you know you kno
Just 2 years…these acts need harsher penalties…C’mom…
Them man care more about herd man than child rapist
