Father of four remanded for alleged rape

A 43-year-old father of four was remanded to prison after he was charged with two counts of sexual activity of a child and family member.

He appeared before Magistrate Rhondel Weaver at the New Amsterdam Magistrate’s Court on Monday and was not required to plead to the charges. He was remanded to prison until February 28, 2017.

The particulars of the first charge alleged that on December 23, 2016, at New Amsterdam, he engaged in sexual penetration with a 13-year-old family member.

It is further alleged that on January 12, 2017, he committed a similar offence on another family member, who is 12-years-old. The court heard that on January 12, 201, at around 22:30h, a neighbour was watching television, when she was alerted by a moaning sound of a child coming from the apartment.

As a result, she looked through a hole and saw the accused having sex with the victim. Four days later, the neighbour contacted the children’s mother, who subsequently made a report to the police.
