    Indescent assault? I would like to know, what is the difference between a 15 year old and a 16 year old scientifically? Also, how could the age of consent be 15 in France, 16 in Dominica and 14 in another country? It means I could go to France, have sexual relations with a 15 year old and not be charged, however, in Dominica I am charged? Could someone explain to me the logic in these ages please?

      The law is the law; it’s the law. 16 is our cut off point, not 15. France has no death penalty while we have a temporary suspension of the death penalty. Should we follow the Frenchmen?

        and in fact we are an independent country france is own their own rules. we are not under France

          So a girl’s will be 16 on Jan 1st but on old year’s evening while the girl is 15 he had sex with her, I guess they would sentence the man because she is still 15. :lol:

          What a retarded law and worse, lack of reason from our people :lol:

          @ Sout Man and Charmed: No one is saying to follow anyone, I’m simply asking here the difference between a 15 and 16 year old. I’m sure there are 14 and 15 year olds that are more mature than a 16 and 17 year old so what gives a 16 year consent and not a 15 year old? Where is the logic? On what basis was 16 decided?

    Ok

    Apparently u do not read other news for u to say only in dominica that happening

    And a man who has sex with a minor is not the same as a man who forcgebly rapes a woman and shud not be sentenced the same!

  9. Anything goes
    May 17, 2011

    that law need to be in effect long time, i remember going to high school at 12years old and some people cannot make it to third term, next time you see them they have child, so they need to start go back and check all the little girls who had kids at 12, 13, and 14 years old. A 15 year old big enough to know what damage a certain body part can do.

    why do we keep hiding our sexual offenders names??????????????/ the matter is in court, he has been indicted…..simply write a proper story, use the words such as “allege”…whatever!!! we are still in this achaic news reporting arena.

    DNO, don’t you have a proper lawyer to advise you on news reporting?????? geez Dominica!!! when will we advance our thinking…………

      May 18, 2011

      I completely agree with you. If a man or woman, knowing better chooses to sleep with a minor, why should the media protect this person’s privacy? There are technical terms that can be used just in case the individual is proved innocent. however, my mother always say there’s no smoke without fire. Something was going on for the accusation to have been made in the first place.

    Looking at the way the world has changed, I don’t consider a 15year old girl a minor. At that age they are well aware of sex and most go in search of it. Before everyone jumps on the young fellow’s back hear the situation first. Was this girl already sexaully active when she went with him? Did she persue the young fellow? Is she being pressured into taking legal actions by her parents? Keep in mind we were all 15 once.

        yes i agree those little girls fast but all the same the law is the law
        The fella should have done what I heard a big man did some years ago …
        go and warn the girl mother and if she persists call the police

          you know this reminds me of the law they just added to that rape law in Guadelope. if you say the man rape you come with the real hard proof. too many times women cry rape and they seduce the men first or their parents do it to make money of it. so they ammended the law if you lie you go to jail instead if you are to young your parents go for you…

  14. waste of time

    some of them 15 year olds are looking to womanish.. what if you honestly dont know their age or they say that they’re over 16?

    • FED UP DOMINICAN
      May 17, 2011

      True is some cases, young girls do lie about their age. BUT this is Dominica, where people are more aware of each others business. If the young lady is of the same community then this 24 year old would most likely had seen her in her school uniform and would also know her family and would know she was underage.

      I agree with the comments asking for him to be named. All others charged/convicted of crime are named, so why should child molestors be treated differently.

        In France it’s not a crime why should it be in Dominica? Pure garbage!

    Sex with minor is wrong, anyhow you put it.However, those teenage girls now-a-days are so up front.The entice those men and most think that they are big women.The way these young girls dress and carry themselves,it’s a shame to their family.Make matters worse, the parents know how those girls behave and the bad attitude they have,yet when things like that happen they run to the police. Parents you have to speak to their young girls,cause if is not rape or so what the hell you doing certain places with that man.What was your intention?You guys go there to ready a book or study. People must stop blaming the men,it goes both ways.Yes the man should know better- no sex with minor.. but those children allu talking about is no children.Most of them in their business a long time.

      Dominiq, you making excuses for the behavior of grown men that should know much better. This young girls should be free to dress and express themselves freely without grown men trying to take advantage of them. Base on your comment, you should know that these girls are just putting on a show and want attention and grown men should turn their heads the opposite way when these young girls are putting on their shows. Personally I have no daughters, no sisters and my mom died so is not like I am concern for a family member, but getting involve with these young girls are only destroying their futures and GROWN MEN SHOULD LEARN TO STAY AWAY FROM THEM NO MATTER WHAT KIND OF ATTENTION THEY ARE SEEKING!!!!!

      • me too
        May 17, 2011

        I agree 100% with you! Adults need to know that children are children! So many of us out there would, if we could go back and change many things in our lives, those mostly sexual in nature. And do you know why? because at that time when older boys some of them men, took advantage of us we didn’t see the wrong because of the lack of knowledge and wisdom that comes with adulthood! ADULTHOOD! this knowledge and wisdom just isn’t present when one is still a child! So please people stop blaming children when they are taken advantage of!

      I strongly support your point Dominiq, well said, unfortunately many are too blind to reason, they just yell rape, abuse like sheep.

    These sex offenders their pictures need to be plastered all over, especially in the school grounds.

    I hope the final verdict is to castrate that sicko. Too many adults think its okay to destroy our children, I am sick and tired of these stories.

    May 17, 2011

    Only in Dominica these things are allowed to continue to happen with little or no consequence. In any other civilized country these pedophiles would be serving at least 25 years in jail. One day the laws will change and those who continue to prey on the country’s children better watch out.

    • THE RUM THAT DO HIM THAT
      May 17, 2011

      well in the us i see perverts get little time in jail and the little black boy that have a little drugs on him get more time, hence is not dca alone

      • but
        May 17, 2011

        But in the US, the sex offenders are required by law to register with the state, not live within certain distances of school or any other areas where children are commonly present. Not to mention they could possibly be put on probation, and may even have an ankle bracelet a few of them. Also, if they’re caught again, chances are that they WILL be thrown in jail, if they weren’t the first time.

  20. GWEN BAMBOO
    May 17, 2011

    Well, we know one thing, this alleged perpetrator must be a high society fly because no mention is made of the name!!! If it was my cousin, his name would definitely be published!! Just saying!

    Admin: sex crimes are very sensitive matters and names are not allowed to be published whether it is a high society person or not.

      Teach these fools Amin: You have publish this fact over and over they are still stipped in ignorance.
      Apparently they do not learn even when informed repeatedly.No wonder the name Dumbs -in -cans keep being implied.

        May 17, 2011

        Fools are we? Well I lived in the UK and read many articles relating to sex offenders and YES
        their names are published.

        Every one and then the judge would order the press not to release names, but that would be
        in cases such as the offender is also underaged or there is still an on going investigation.

        So drop the Dumbs-in-cans attitude and explain that maybe that the rule in Dominica is not to mention names.

      Yah, and in the meantime he is out on $20,000.00 bail to assault another minor. At this time the well-being of people, namely female minors in the community is more important than the privacy of this pervert.
