Grove man remanded for sex with underaged girl

Oct 28, 2009 News

An East Bank Demerara man has landed himself in a Berbice court after he is accused of having sex with a 13-year-old girl.
Anthony Haynes, 34, of 177 Grove Housing Scheme, was refused bail at the New Amsterdam Magistrate’s Court yesterday by Magistrate Adela Nagamootoo.
According to Prosecutor, Corporal Roberto Figueira, last Thursday, the teenager was at the New Amsterdam municipal market when she saw the accused, who approached her and told her that he was madly in love with her.
He then took her to Demico House where he purchased a milk shake and a cheese roll for her. He then took her to an abandoned building on the Matthew Allen (Stelling Road) road where he allegedly had sexual intercourse with her.
He kept her throughout the night, the court heard.
Kaieteur News understands that the teenager, who is the eldest of three children, lives with her mother and two brothers. She had left home around 10:00 to visit relatives in New Amsterdam, but instead of visiting relatives, she went to the New Amsterdam market.
The matter was reported and the accused was arrested.
In opposing bail, Prosecutor Figueira cited the nature, gravity and prevalence of the crime and stated that there is a possibility that the accused will interfere with witnesses. Figueira also stated that the accused is not from the Berbice area and there is the likely hood that he will not return for his trial.   His next court date is fixed for November 16.
