Berbice: Police in New Amsterdam have arrested an East Canje man who has been in hiding for allegedly impregnating a 14-year-old girl since 2010. The man was also fingered in raping another teenager recently.
TrakkerNews understands that the man, a preacher’s son from the Sheet Anchor area, allegedly lured the teenager to his parents’ house in 2010 where the act was committed. The child attended the Berbice Educational Institute at the time and had to drop out of the school owing to the pregnancy. She gave birth to the child who is being raised by her parents. The girl has returned to school at another location.
The girl, who was a friend of the sister of the accused, was invited to the house under the guise that his sister had summoned her to do school work. When she got into the house, she discovered that she was misled and only the defendant was home. The man is said to have subdued the girl, and forcibly had sex with her.
She had told detectives that her cries for help were drowned out by the loud music he was playing at the time. The man has managed to elude police since the incident.
However, sources close to the investigations revealed that the man was arrested on Saturday after the parents of another 14-year-old reported that their daughter was allegedly raped by him. The man, who was 18 at the time of the first incident in 2010, is expected to be charged shortly.
