Feb 09, 2018 News

A 53-year old security guard was yesterday remanded to prison for allegedly raping a three year-old girl.
Deon Aaron of Craig, East Bank Demerara, appeared before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
The accused, an ex-member of the Guyana Police Force, was not required to plead to the indictable charge which alleged that on March 14, 2016, at Friendship Squatting Area, East Bank Demerara, he engaged in sexual penetration with a child under the age of sixteen.
The matter was held in camera and members of the public and the media were asked to leave the courtroom.
According to information, the child was left in Aaron’s care by her mother and when she returned home, she complained that she was not feeling well.
The mother upon checking the three-year-old observed that she may have been sexually assaulted.
The matter was then reported, and an investigation was carried out, and the accused was arrested and charge for the offence.
Police Prosecutor Gordon Mansfield strongly objected to bail being granted to the accused citing the serious nature of the offence, the penalty the charge attracts and the fact that a young child was involved.
The prosecutor’s objection was upheld by the Magistrate and the accused was remanded to prison. He was instructed to make his next court appearance on February 22.
