Jun 17, 2013 News

A man who is accused of forcefully entering a house and brutally raping an eight year old girl while she was over-nighting at her grandmother four years ago will have to face a judge and jury.
The man, Talbert Mc Pherson, 39, of Hopetown West Coast Berbice was committed to stand trial at the next sitting of the Berbice criminal court by Magistrate Adela Nagamootoo after she found that a prima facie case had been made out against him at the end of a preliminary inquiry held at the Blairmont Magistrate’s court.
McPherson was charged with having sex with an eight year old. The offence was alleged to have been committed between 12th and 13th August 2009 at Hopetown.
Prosecutor, Inspector Grace Bristol told the court that the accused and child were known to each other since he fathered children with the girl’s aunt.
On the dates mentioned, the child’s mother left her at her grandmother’s residence and went to a wake. During the night the man went into the house and after overpowering the child, he forcefully had sex with her.
The child confided in her mother what took place. The matter was reported and after an intense investigation, the accused was arrested and charged.
