Three Men Charged With Sexual Offences

September 2, 2014

Three men appeared in today’s [Sept 2] Supreme Court Monthly Arraignment Session, where all three faced charges involving sexual exploitation and/or sexual assault.

A 34 year old man pleaded not guilty to multiple charges that, as a person in a position of trust, he had sexually exploited a young person.

A 17 year old male denied unlawful carnal knowledge of a female teenager under the age of 16, unlawful sexual assault of the young girl and depriving the young girl of her liberty.

A third man, also 34, pleaded not guilty to the sexual exploitation of a young person and intruding on the privacy of the same child.

Although they have been combined into one report here, all the cases were separate allegations, and due to legal restrictions, none of the defendants can be identified at this stage of the proceedings.

    Are these type of sexploitation cases on the rise in Bermuda, or does it only appear that way because of scheduling? I like to know the statistics and also what is being done to treat offenders and also what is being done to educate potential offenders/victims…

    This is becoming all too prevalent! I commend the young people, the parents and the police for bring the cases before the courts.

      These incidents have been going on well over my 51 years of living on this planet. Its not just the young girls who are vulnerable in these cases, you also have young boys going through the same thing in this day. Beware who of friends, family members, acquaintances, policemen, teachers, doctors, preachers, uncles, aunts, brothers, fathers, mothers, sisters, grandparents, judges. its always a person who we would least expect..

    The jail time need not be months for any sexual crime involving children or invading the privacy of a child. It needs to be years. I read with interest the case involving the bus driver where he got 6 months. That’s by no way a proper deterrent. The law makers need to change the law for these types of offenses and give minimum of let’s say 5 or 10 years.
