Karim Christian must pay a fine of $350 for beating his stepson with a piece of wood last year.
The defendant was given 24 hours to pay the fine or faces 7 days’ imprisonment.
Police charged the defendant with battery early 2019 after he was filmed beating the then 16-year-old boy.
The February 11 incident was captured on cellphone video, which went viral on social media.
Christian apologized to the teenager’s biological father, with whom the boy now resides.

Wan nar-C, lousy $350 is what constitutes “JUSTICE” in this case? Sad, pitiful, and outrageous.
This why some people resort to applying their version of justice.
Are you serious??? I would expect that for petty larceny… So sad when a child being abused is worth less!
Antigua is not a real place! are you serious, $350 for such embarassement and wickedness on the child. This is ridiculous
This should be appealed by the State. Nothing less than 20 years in 1735 would be appropriate. The People already talking. This is not acceptable. This child has been wounded for life, and he perpetrator pays a few coppers. JUSTICE will be demanded by the People. Chuptz!!!!
Justice in Antigua is who you know
They can stick that . He deserves a severe beating
