Real News Antigua: An underaged girl has been found to be pregnant and the Police are now investigating this incident of unlawful sexual intercourse. CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATS APP GROUP

Sources say the pregnancy was discovered by a doctor at the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre who notified the Police.

Allegedly, the 12-year-old was taken to the hospital; and after doctors made the diagnosis, the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) was alerted, as the law requires.

Reports say the child was questioned by the Police in the presence of her mother.
Whosoever is responsible for what a source describes as “an unconscionable and despicable act” faces life imprisonment, which is the maximum penalty for sex with a girl under 12 years.

However, various circumstances could prevent the perpetrator from receiving the maximum penalty – especially if this is his first offence.

  1. Words fail me. I hope the full force of the law comes down on this wicked and evil paedophile who has done this to a 12-year-old!

    Life sentence coming …

    • Every one throwing assumptions to a grown man.. why don’t we let the issue play out and see.. could have been 2 young individuals.

      In cases like these we as a society done strat throw fear and shame on this little girl.. which is not right at all..

      • Don’t rule anything out @ Fed up, the mind of mankind is capable of all kinds of evil and wickedness.

        Dare I say its Biblical …

  2. must be another school boy these little girls ain’t easy these days an boys. They acting grown up they go school involved in sex then come home an be good little children like they not doing anything out there.

    • As bad as it sounds this is a fact. I witnessed a grade six girl from a primary school telling a parent that she was more of a big woman than her. The parent reported the grade six girl to a teacher because the girl was bullying the parent’s child who is in grade 2 for his money and snacks. These children are not easy I tell you. They want money and things and will do any and everything to get what they want. Some parents have it hard with their children.

    • Why are you supposing the worst of this child For you know her? Do you know the circumstances surrounding her pregnancy,? Suppose it is a relative of yours. Would you still be do mean and vicious with your tongue? She needs all the emotional support she can get! Obviously adults are given none to her! They are here on this forum tearing her to shreds! She needs to Navi negotiate what’s left of her puber
      ty and motherhood! It has to be scary!

  3. She needs to spill the beans, and not be afraid to talk.
    Whomever did this should be brought to justice!
    Whomever! Big man, little boy! Cousin, father
    Whomever!
    I hope she has the courage to speak her truth, and get some counseling after!
    I am totally disgusted with this type of behavior
    Speak my child..
    12 years old, disgusting🫣🤮

    If that was my daughter……….

  4. There have been a lot of 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, yr old girls getting pregnant here in Antigua and Barbuda and up till now I never hear any man or boy get is locked up. It’s not the first time this is happening in this country. This needs to Stop. But! Who is going to stop it?

  5. I pray it’s a school boy experimenting with sex. To think a grown man would violate a baby in that way makes my stomach hurl. Either option isn’t great for the child born of this union but when two kids play dolly house it’s an easier pill to swallow than considering a child predator was allowed to violate another child. I hope she’s not so far along that they can’t at least give this 12 year old a new beginning to live her life normally. Termination is warranted.

    • Termination is NEVER warranted unless absolutely needed to save the mother’s life. Termination will not erase what has happened. There are many other solutions that do not involve harming an innocent, defenseless baby. The 12 year old should be given counselling, support and assistance to get through the time until the baby is born and be heralded for her heroic role in protecting innocent new life in the situation.

  6. Accountability falls on everyone who is involved in these pregnancies, it takes two. You all acting like majority of these young people are so innocent and naïve just playing with dollies and don’t know about sex. I just speak reality, because many of those young girls can sit and teach you old women more about sex and positions than any book can. Stop living in the past and open your eyes to reality. Yes some circumstances rape and incest does occur and that is unfortunate, but majority of the times many of those young girls are outside in evening and night time selling front. Many of you in the comment section living this sheltered life with no knowledge of how our society is operating. While many of you already locked up in your house past 6, dem young girls out in the street. This is 2024 not 1920 and many of these single parent ran homes are endorsing the young girls to go out and get money anyway they can. Open your eyes to reality. Many of you comment say I hope it’s a 14 year old boy what ignorance, like it make the situation better that children are having children smh.

  7. This is happening long time.
    I can recall delivering an 11 year old and also a 12 year old years ago.
    One delivery was at Holberton and the other was at Adelin Clinic.
    Both parents took hush money.
    One father was a police officer and the other was an assistant pastor at an SDA church.
    Our young people need help and more so now. And our grown ass men need severe punishment.
    But in Antigua there is no justice and we as a society tend to hide our heads in the sand.

  8. One in ten men are thought to be paedophiles. The poor children who are sold and exploited is sickening. The internet is full of babies and children being abused. So called gentlemen are hiding their behaviour from their families. Throughout the world not just Antigua!

  9. Say one say two. We don’t know the morale of the story. Could be many things…these young girls these days doing what they say their mother do. Yes we also have adult men who are perverts too ….then again some of these young girls don’t even look like teenager cuz they already been having sex at a early age … I have a neighbour who would do anything just to get money and would use her daughter as well to make money. But who looks into these things…no one….until your caught by your parents or police or the mother and daughter didn’t feel satisfied and wants more money. These things do happen. I ain’t coming on here and judging nobody. I mean who are we to judge. Who knows if it’s just one male hit???? Who knows…but all who’ve been there names will call.

  10. Or it could be the mother’s boyfriend. Her brother’s best friend or her father’s co-worker. Who the he!! knows at this point
    1 thing for sure she wid child and it wasnt by the so-called holy ghost.

    @Ras Jus me for 1 agree with you! first offence no spare them when they are found guilty. We as a society can not just slap them on the wrist and say oh it is his / her first offense! should we wait until he/she/them does it the 4th and the 5th time to feel the wrath of the law??
    And why do we keep blaming the victim when sh!t like this happens?
