A 33-year-old laborer has been convicted on two counts of engaging in sexual activity with a minor and is presently awaiting sentencing scheduled for June 5, 2024.
A jury found Juewell Williams guilty of committing the crime on a seven-year-old girl.
Judge Simone Morris-Ramlall of the Demerara High Court presided over his trial.

He sexually molested the little child twice, between July 21 and July 31, 2016, and again between July 31, 2016, and June 6, 2018.
According to the evidence presented by the prosecution, Williams instructed the child to remain silent during his approach between July 21 and July 31, 2016.

Subsequently, he engaged in improper physical contact with her. The young lady informed her mother of the events the next day, yet no action was taken. Williams made physical contact with the girl once more during the second occurrence.
The child once again informed her mother, who proceeded to apply pepper to her private area.

Subsequently, Williams’ illicit actions came to light, prompting the girl’s relocation to her grandmother’s residence under the supervision of the Child Care and Protection Agency.
Throughout the trial, Williams’ defence attorney, Madan Kissoon, made appearances on his behalf, while the prosecution was represented by State Counsel Muntaz Ali.

As of now, the individual who has been convicted of sexual offenses and is currently in custody is slated to appear in court next month to undergo the sentencing process.
