A THIRTY-THREE- year-old man of Wismar, Linden, who is accused of raping his 8-year-old daughter, was on Friday rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) before he made an appearance at the Georgetown Magistrates Court.

The man while being escorted by law-enforcement officials in front of the Magistrates Court rolled onto the pavement. An officer who was escorting him was heard saying, “The man went good good and soon as he see the court he start with his tricks….nothing ain’t wrong with he.”

The officers strongly believed that the man was playing tricks and as a result he was taken into the court yard, where the accused mustered the courage to hide his face from the media. As he was being taken up the stairs by two law- enforcement officials, the man

collapsed and fell into the corridor and lay in front of the chief magistrate’s court room.

While on the ground, he complained about pains, after which froth was seen coming from his mouth.

He was immediately rushed to the hospital where he received treatment. He is scheduled to return to court on Monday, to answer the charge of rape.

Meanwhile, according to reports, the 8-year-old girl visited the probation office after school and revealed to the resident probation officer that she had been sexually abused. She was then taken to the hospital where doctors confirmed that she had indeed been molested.

The child is now in the custody of her aunt and is assisting the police with the investigation. It has been reported that the child has been the victim of physical and sexual abuse for some time and according to a source, “The little girl just couldn’t take it anymore and yesterday she just walked into the probation office.”
