CONVICTED child rapist, Clinton Anthony Doris on Thursday, March 28, 2019 had his sentencing deferred until next month by Justice Jo-Ann Barlow at the High Court.

Doris called ‘Masquerade Man’ or ‘Lally,’ was recently found guilty by a 12-member mixed jury of raping a seven-year-old girl on March 27, 2014 in the county of Essequibo.

On Thursday, a probation report was expected to be read in court following a request made by Doris’ attorney, Ravindra Mohabir. However, the report was not read causing Doris’ sentencing to be deferred until April 5, 2019. Doris is currently on remand.

The state was represented by Prosecutors Lisa Cave, Sarah Martin, and Seeta Bishundial. The trial was conducted in-camera at the Sexual Offences Court of the High Court in Georgetown.

According to reports, on the day in question, the child was on her way home and while passing Doris’ house, he called out to her and invited her into his home to collect ‘sweetie.’
However, when the child entered the house, Doris raped her and sent her home crying. Her relatives saw her crying and she told them what Doris had done. The matter was reported to the police and Doris was subsequently arrested.
