A judge has sentenced a young man to six months behind bars after he failed to meet financial obligations stemming from his conviction for sexual offenses involving a minor.
The 25-year-old had entered guilty pleas in October 2023 to charges of engaging in sexual intercourse with a girl who was under the age of fourteen at the time of the incidents in 2020.
The victim was just 13 when she encountered the then-21-year-old defendant at a neighbourhood beauty salon in March 2020. Their contact escalated to what the minor considered a romantic relationship, culminating in three instances of sexual activity during the summer months of 2020.
These encounters led to the girl’s pregnancy, and she subsequently delivered a child in 2021.
The accused’s mother and the accused had spoken to the victim’s mother and agreed to take responsibility for the child. However, medical personnel at the hospital where she gave birth alerted police to the situation.
In January 2024, Justice Ann-Marie Smith imposed a fine and ordered compensation totalling $6,000, structured as monthly $500 payments, with imprisonment as the alternative for non-compliance.
The convicted man managed just a single payment before vanishing from authorities’ reach. Following a lengthy search, he was apprehended in August 2024 and subsequently ordered to serve the alternative sentence of six months incarceration.
Pedos pedos everywhere
People People you should care
Put them where they cannot bear Beat their ass until they pass….out that is.

Only six months? Too many of these nasty men roaming the country
Why don’t you just name the man in this case Antigua.news? It’s sickening how y’all hide the identity of these nasty dutty men. As an old man you’re looking at a child who’s by far under your age? 6 months imprisonment should not be the case. He needs more than that
The nasty men are an eyesore to our country.
What a 13 year old can do for you at 21 these men are unbelievable and totally disgusting
6 months? No example set for the safety of the minors even if she was into it it’s still wrong and an example needed to be set
Just imagine he violated the child but is the court that getting the money
Apex Jones. that part….that nasty good for nothing should be paying all monies to the victim and a much longer sentence for his crime. This is a slap on the wrist and sends the wrong message to other men who are similarly inclined. Pedos te kill their victims’ innocence and inflict lifelong trauma. They should be made to suffer just as long.
Children are precious and should be preserved. Death to those who violate them
Antigua.news where is my comments. Please dont do like the other thieves and remove my comments.
Prison time may be necessary here, but rehabilitation and monitoring are just as crucial to prevent repeat offenses.
Seems we have the same issue in all Caribbean Island. Nasty pedophiles roaming the place
