ANTIGUA OBSERVER: A 42-year-old construction worker has been sentenced to two years and six months in prison on Friday for indecent assault of a 10-year-old girl.
Earlier this month, a jury convicted Damian Williams, a Jamaican national, on two counts of indecent assault.
The charges stemmed from incidents that occurred on March 29, 2022, when Williams was 39 years old.
Evidence presented during the trial revealed that he was residing as a tenant in the same household as the victim, her mother, and two younger siblings.
The mother, also a Jamaican national, had taken Williams in to help with her financial struggles, and charged him monthly for a room. She reportedly trusted him due to his connections with her child’s father and mutual friends.
According to testimony presented in court, Williams inappropriately touched the child on her buttocks or thigh area and kissed her near her lips.
After she told her mother of the assault, the police were subsequently notified and Williams was arrested and charged following an investigation.

Jailed?????? Hell no man
If you gonna bring them kind a news, you must provide at least a mug shot for the public.
Keep your nastiness at home! No child , Jamaican or otherwise deserves to be growing up in kennel of demented dogs. Hopefully over the next two years you will experience the pain and shame inflicted by nasty, bullies like yourself. Who feels it, knows it. We don’t need such animalsl living amongst us in Antigua and Barbuda.
what does UPP’s SPOKESPERSON AND CONVICTED PEDOPHILE IAN MAGIC HUGHES have to say about this?? Will he be back on Dave Lester Payne to denounce this nasty behaviour?
I’m mad at people like this with their animal behavior. Mad because you going to Jail and hard working people taxes have to feed you. They should have a system in place where you work if you want to eat.
You let the DEVIL control you !!!. It good They caught you before you spoil that incident child.
People should be charged for grooming minors too, whether they eventually make them spouses or mother. Same should happen when a grown man make his girlfriend ‘s daughter his girlfriend also; whether he’s in good social standing or a commoner.
Friend or not what you have bring a man into the house …..and imagine trusting someone only for them to pray on your daughter, they should have given him 3 years smh
