    This situation is not just isolated to Antigua and Barbuda. These grown pedophiles are everywhere. They are in so many communities. And sometimes their parents allow these so called neighbours and uncles to babysit these children. We have to pay more attention to who we let around our children

    I dont know you but I support your statement 100^I see children as young as 4 twirling and moving their bodies in seductive ways. I can say alot but I will say no more

    When i hear and read these things. I tell people to imagine their daughters being violated like that. And if you can’t imagine that then dont do it to someone else

    Seven years? Well the islands refuse to have a sex offenders registry. This man is not safe in that village

    If this indeed the case that person should be arrested. Don’t take those things lightly

    Monsters don’t deserve to walk this earth! You’re telling me a 7 year old? And then they wonder why some people don’t trust or like neighbors. Trying to touch a 7 year old just for some water? KILL HIM

    Fortunately the child told someone. All children should be trained to do this. They should be taught that there are body parts nobody is allowed to touch.

    Very unfortunate indeed. But there is a lot beneath the surface that needs to be addressed. Society justifies, condones and encourages so many other aspects of immortality that people’s minds are saturated with evil. Even little children are trained to dance in a very sexually explicit way, all in the name of culture.
    Everything immoral multiplies during the Carnival Season. More drunkenness, more violence, more unwanted pregnancies, more vulgarity, more violence. And it is all accepted.
    THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED CASE It is an epidemic not only in Antigua but in the decadent Western nations.

    I agree with you, Anonymous!

    That is why the authorities need to published the names of all the sexual offenders in the country. We need to know who our neighbors are living next to us and in our communities. I don’t believe it’s the first time this alleged had committed such awful acts against a child. The hand he used to molested the child need to remove from his body.
    Maybe the authorities are waiting for the parents to sharpen their cutlasses and take matters in their own hands for their children.

    This is a sickening and horrific act. What does this child have to offer to this man. What a sick and twisted thing to even bring your self to do.

  • Antiguan August 13, 2025, 7:56 PM
