Rape of 12 year old…

Two questioned, two more being sought

CRIME Chief, Leslie James yesterday confirmed that they have been able to question two of the four men implicated by the pregnant 12-year-old girl from the interior as the persons responsible for her condition.Speaking with this publication yesterday, James reported that the police have sought and received statements from the two men, including the step-father of the child who was last week in police custody after news of the crime was brought to light.

James said that the young lady called four names, and the other persons who have not yet been located by the cops are being pursued and once contact is made with them they would be asked to submit statements in relation to the matter and their involvement with the girl.
Last week it was reported that a 12- year- old was at the Georgetown Public Hospital after she was brought out of an interior location to have her baby delivered. The news of the child’s condition caught the attention of the Ministry of Human Services and the Child Care and Protection Agency who immediately launched an investigation into the matter.
Child Care Director, Ann Green was very vocal and stern in her comments that the person(s) responsible for the child’s condition be made to face the full force of the law.
