Stepfather, brother-in-law remanded for sexually assaulting 13-year old

Sep 10, 2013 News

 

Two men who allegedly took turns sexually violating a 13-year-old girl whom they were supposed to protect are now in prison awaiting trial.
The men, who are both in their late 30s and are close relatives of the teenager, were charged separately for sexually assaulting her on separate occasions.
The incidents allegedly occurred at the home the child shared with her mother and other relatives at Melanie Damishana.
One of the men, who happens to be her stepfather, was placed on $600,000 when he appeared before an East Coast Demerara Magistrate on May 20 last, charged with rape.
Kaieteur News understands that he is still to post the bail.
He was joined in prison by the teenager’s brother-in-law who was remanded when he too faced a Magistrate at the Vigilance Magistrate’s Court on a similar charge.
According to reports, the child, whose mother works in the interior, was left in the care of her sister and brother in law earlier this year.
It is alleged that her brother in law bought her a cellular phone, which he used as an inducement to have sex with her. This according to the prosecution went on for a while without anyone’s knowledge until the teenager’s stepfather arrived from the interior.
The police are alleging that the stepfather observed the teenager’s brother in law making sexual advances towards her and he threatened to reveal this to the child’s mother.
He reportedly used the threat to seduce the child.
But this time the child could no longer keep it in and she confided to a friend, who in turn told her aunt.
The matter was subsequently reported to the police who arrested both men.
After an intense investigation, they were both placed before the court.
