Alleged sexual offender granted bail

A Roseau Valley man, who allegedly sexually offended a minor, was granted bail in the sum of $20,000 this morning.

The defendant appeared Before Magistrate Candia George at the Roseau Magistrate Court where he was charged with unlawful sexual relations, indecent assault and having sexual intercourse with a 15-year-old girl from his community.

The incident reportedly took place on July 24.

The defendant was not requested to enter a plea during the court appearance.

Police prosecution had no objections to the bail of the defendant and the trial date for this matter is carded for November.

Defense Lawyer Darius Jones is representing the defendant.

    i think if a teen age girl is willing at age 15 have sex with a adult they should both be tried as a sex offender. so many people falsely accused do to them lying about their age so i think they should both go

      you may be right about their over development and their promiscuity but in a small community like ours where these god forsaken men see these kids in pampers they know exactly that they are underage. they are to dam nasty and deserve more than what is done to them. sexual molestation is a problem that has gone on to long in every community and all it boils down to is men and their constant need for sexual gratification and eye candy spoiling the young peoples lives. many of the young girls you see going on like they in heat all of the time if you could look back at their lives some where you would find that they suffered some sort of sexual or separation trauma that is causing them to seek attention in all the wrong places. so often feel sorry for them don’t judge the child. judge the bastard using the child

    I think every case should be assessed individually and not generalized. My belief is that if the age of consent is 16 we need to stick by that rule. Obviously the facts differ in each case. If the girl is below 16 the guy is already at fault but according to other facts of the case, I think the punishment should match the facts. There are some young girls who will not behave. This is no excuse but in my book it changes the face of the case. If the act was forcible then there is no contest.

    We need to raise our young women with class. We need to teach them that material things are not worth our pride and dignity. We need to teach them that no one should disrespect them and we need to teach them that the oldest profession needs to remain old. There is no need to keep the legacy of prostitution alive. My greatest disappointment in all of this is the role of the parents. Hardly ever do you see parents at the forefront and pushing to have these monsters prosecuted. It leaves a lot to be questioned. I see comments about young women having children at ages 14 – 16 and that this has been going on forever. Well, do we ever intend to stop wrong things from happening? If your father is a murderer does this give you the right to follow his footsteps? Then if your mother had you at 14 you should not follow her footsteps either. There are much better lessons in life.

    I’m not justifying “unlawful” underage sex. However we Dominicans are soooo hypocritical.

    How many of you on here were born of Mothers who were 14, 15, 16 yrs at the time?

    I’m a 70’s baby. And I have a few friends whose Mother’s had them as young as 14 yrs. The reality is up until the 80’s the age of consent in Dominica was 14yrs.

    So please don’t come on here giving the world the impression that “underage” sex is so taboo in Dominica. Far from…and it has been like that FOREVER.

      It is against the law to publish the offender’s name and or the name of the victim. From what I also remember you should not give the exact location but generalized (eg. u can say from Roseau but not 35 cork street. It is an offense to do so and you can be charged for contempt of court if you break the law.

    Some Dominicans are the most shallow minded people I have ever come across and their laws are contradictory. Permit me to ask, In France the age of consent is 15, China is 14 and Dominica is 16. What is the yardstick used to determine the “age of consent?”

    Second, this backward society are advocating for “faggit” rights for two men to insert an erect penis into each other’s anus, the port of exit for faeces yet, our people make a big issue over the difference between a 15 and 16 year old?

    There are so many young ladies who are 14 but they look 18 or even 20.

    If the man and woman “love” each other when she reaches 16 they can resume their fornicating relationship.

    We as muslims marry women under 16 years wherever we wish. We do not believe in secular laws. Any infidel who separates a muslim family for rubbish laws like this, we will be doing jihad. For sure, Dominica will not be able to tolerate Islamic jihad because the infidels here are afraid to die.

    Every time I compare and contrast these pagan post colonial filthy laws as opposed to divine law, my hatred for pagan man made laws deepen.

    As for those who give me thumbs down, you are just as retarded and foolish as your forefathers.

      Those teenage girls do not want boys their age, is donkey size tools they want working on/in them, and then they blaming the men. Charge both parties, as long as is not rape.

      This is not an Islamic country. Take your jihad and go to the Middle East with It. You do not believe in secular laws but you better not be caught having any sexual relations with minors because your jihad will not save you from the jail.If jihad is divine law then the old colonial laws that you speak about are more tolerable and just than jihad.

        The 15 yr old should know that and keep their leg closed. Their pika up and they think they r d hottest thing on the block. I heard a 13yr old say she doh want no little boy is big wood she want. They need 2 start jailing those girls 2.

      Sex offenders are those that rape their victims; a 15yr old go and take her man, the courts should charge both man and girl. That would teach the young girls 2 keep their legs close, and stop running bhind grown men.

    Why would a sex offender given bail. It’s like putting a child on time-out.

    This system needs to change. We need to protect our children.

  14. just a suggestion
    July 28, 2011

    When someone commits a crime they are presumed innocent until proven guilty. In all sex crimes involving children I believe this should be guilty until proven innocent and no bail granted. I think we should always listen to the child as a priority but also bring such cases to court quickly to minimise time spent in jail for those then proved to be innocent. The victim must always be protected from possible intimidation or the shock of bumping into the accused in the street.

    That’s a real slap on the wrist… Sometimes the justice system just doesn’t do it and victims and others affacted are forced to seek JUSTICE!

    More needs to be done in regards to our legal system! Much more

    NOW MAGISTRATES AND JUDGES, CRIMINAL CASES TAKES TOOOOOO LOOOOOOONG TO CALL,TODAY FOR TOMORROW AND THATS IT .YOU GIVE THE CRIMINALS TIME TO ANALIZE THEIR WAY OUT WITH THE HELP OF THE LAWYERS.

    This is rediculous…given bail so he can go back after here, intimidate her and her family or pay them off…we should seek change in those laws to deal with the parents who know and dont report or take payments, for the doctors, nurses and teachers who know and don report and for the perpetrator who pays and the persons who receives the money and for the bastards to stay in jail until the case is called…
