SAWMILL operator Raymond Evans, who confessed to holding the vagina of a Bible student, was on Monday sentenced to six months imprisonment by Magistrate Sherdell Isaacs-Marcus at the New Amsterdam Court.

The 25-year-old of Kendall Village, Corentyne, stood before his 19-year-old victim and with a penitent voice, expressed regret over the incident.
The teenager responded by informing Evans that while she accepted his apology, the matter was entirely in the hands of the Honourable Court, who will decide his fate.
Questioned by the Magistrate as to what length of jail term he preferred, Evans replied, ‘One month, Madam.’
But the magistrate informed the defendant, that the legislature had stipulated five years was the maximum penalty, and, in turn, asked Police Inspector Grace Bristol for a suggestion.
She replied, ‘Two years, Your Worship’.
However, Magistrate Isaacs-Marcus, in imposing the sentence, took into consideration the fact that it was the prisoner’s first offence, the probation report which revealed that he never had a formal education, and his penitence.
On March 14 last, the teen had left her Bible class and was walking along Main and St John Street, New Amsterdam when Evans told the victim ‘good night’, before grabbing at her private part.
Loud shouts from the teen alerted persons at a nearby restaurant, and they quickly responded by arresting the suspect.
He was subsequently taken to Central Police Station where the charge was instituted.
