law is law so if he is 50 and she is 18 has nothing to do with this,the law says the age of consent is 16 and up.So lets be fair here ,the law is not what u feel it should be it is what it is.

A persons nationality really has nothing to do with him been a pediophile,they are all over the world,so i would not go there.Dont you travel/read/wat ch television,they have them born& bred right here to. I am curious to know what School this girl attends,is it a normal one or Adeles,because a 14 yr old who cannot count to 20 must have a mental defect,i am not making excuses for the Man,because even she was 17 as he said she told him, she is still a child,he is a grown man,who could be her father, If on the other hand she is just a 14yr old who cannot read or count because of delinquency,she very well could have told him she is 17,they does it all the time.Parents need to pay more attention to their Children and not let them go like wild animals,and Men need to respect themselves and stop behaving like predators in heat.

I am so disgusted with all the crimes, child molestations, shootings, hold ups break-ins, drug trafficking, and more that's going on in my Antigua. Where did all these criminals come from? Once again, the government should start deporting all the foreigners who commit crimes. A criminal background check should be performed initially on all the aliens who plan relocate to Antigua and other Caribbean Islands. By doing so, they will know exactly who the criminals are before they are allowed to become permanent residents. I am so scared to relocate in Antigua for my retirement. START DEPORTING THEM IMMEDIATELY.

I want to believe that this girl is semi **ed, and if this is the case, this makes this crime even more heinous.

Some of you guys can blame the victim as much as much as you want, it does not change anything, he was convicted and now he will be assaulted in prison for many years to come. This is poetic justice. The system does work some of the time. Eventually, I do hope that he will be deported to Dominica.

The Antigua police force has a very lousy track record, and still there are so many foreigners convicted and jailed in Antigua for committing very heinous crimes. This tells me that the UPP and ALP politicians that are still thinking about freedom of movement for Caricom citizens are truly brain dead.

DO NOT for one second think that this was the childs fault! what the hell is a grown man associating himself with a minor of this age. Then again, the mother of this child needs to be investigated as many mothers are pimping out thier daughters for "services" rendered....mon ey, tv, Blackberry etc!!

In most cases like this the man is likely to say that he thought the gold was older or she said she was older. But common sense would tell that he (a 48 year old man) preyed on the the little girl and did not care about no age. It is just a worthless act instead of looking for a big woman. It is a constant problem in Antigua and more people will get caught. The big shots are doing it too.

Given the details of this sad case, I think that Social Service should be involved to protect this child.

**Osbert R. Frederick** » 2012-07-04 08:29

Even if whe told him she was 17 1/2, what does a 48 yar old man want with a seventeen year old? It is just sickening. He should listen to Ivor Bird, "The older ones are the sweeter ones", even though he is speaking about music, it goes for sexual relationships also. I hope he has a long time to ponder on his actions. Strong messages should be sent to these poor excuses for men who prey on young girls.

**Antigua** » 2012-07-04 08:05

"He said he became close with the family and was told by the victim that she had lost a baby.".....So she was previously sexually active? Who was the father of the lost baby? Is this cause for more investigation? Should another man be jailed? If she cannot count i can only assume she is a special child and attend the Friars Hill road school.
....When will mothers stop trusting unknown men with their children? Isnt it becoming more and more obvoius that girls are to be protected? Where is her father there was not mention of "daddy"
How comfortable was it for him to be told that she had just lost a baby and needed pad? There are such sick men out there. He needs to return to Dominica.
This is such a sad case! Poor child!

The teenager, who cannot read, write, count to 10, or count from 10 to 20, said the first sexual encounter took place on her living room floor and she was asked not to tell anyone

Clearly this perpetrator has no excuse and should have pleaded guilty but What is happening with our education system?

He pleaded not guilty to all of the offences...He denied having intercourse with the child on the living room floor, but admitted to encounters at his workplace and in his vehicle. The judge should lock his tail up underneath the jail.

Is this child having developmental issues/challeng es why she cannot read, write, or count?

**dave** » 2012-07-04 06:06

well one cant count and one cant read,this case is up in the air hope the judge use his head in the one.this is crazy she cant count from 1 to 10 and from 10 to 20,so how she no 14 and 17 i got to give the man the benefit that she told him she was 17,she cant count but goes to school.
