Reports reaching Guyana Chronicle state that Mr. Benjamin was working with the lad’s grandmother as a labourer when the alleged act occurred.

The matter was reported to the Charity Police Station and the man was arrested. An examination by the doctor on duty at the Oscar Joseph District Hospital at Charity showed that the boy had been sexually molested. He was attended to and sent home. The accused is married and is the father of four children.

He was remanded to prison and will make his next Court appearance on September 24.
