Man gets five years for ‘feeling’ woman

Mar 17, 2012 News

 

 

Ryan Eastman, 29, of Number 30 Village, West Coast Berbice, has become one of the first men to be jailed under the New Sexual Offences Act.
He was on Friday sentenced to five years in jail by Magistrate Adela Nagamootoo when he appeared before her at the New Amsterdam Magistrate’s Court and pleaded guilty to a charge of Sexual Assault committed on a female of the same village.
The case for the prosecution was that the woman knew the accused.  About17:30hrs on March 9, last, the woman was riding her bicycle along the village public road when Eastman called out to her.
She stopped and the accused proceeded to tell her “is a long time I ain’t see you, you looking good. I want to f…you.” With that he preceded to touch her breast, her buttocks and rub her legs.  The woman objected, but the accused continued, despite her protestation.
The matter was reported and the accused was arrested and charged.  He appeared in the New Amsterdam Magistrate’s court on Thursday and pleaded guilty.
However he was remanded until Friday when he was jailed.
The new Sexual Offences Act 2010 deals with touching a person sexually against their wishes.
