SEX PREDATOR
THE 31-year-old suspect in the sex assault of a five-year-old Rio Claro girl has a case pending at the Princes Magistrates Court for rape and robbery. The offences were allegedly committed in 2011. This means that he sexually assaulted the five-yearold while out on bail for the rape and robbery charges. Newsday understands photographs of the suspect have been circulated to officers of Police Southern Division and police believe the suspect would soon be apprehended.
Yesterday, Inspector Don Gajadhar of the San Fernando CID told Newsday that he is working closely with officers of the Rio Claro Police Station to have the suspect arrested. The Inspector said that the last known address of the man was passed on to detectives and officers went to that house but he was not there and the occupants could shed no light as to his whereabouts.
Officers were told that the suspect had been living at this location with a woman but moved out. He is then believed to have struck up a relationship with the mother of the five-year-old child who lives in Rio Claro. Both the child’s mother and the suspect are security guards and they began an intimate relationship after meeting while on duty at the same location.
Police believe that he may be somewhere in the Southern Division and have advised women to be on the lookout as he appears to target women especially single mothers with young girl children.
Police sources added that the man is a suspect in a number of rapes, all committed while he was out on bail. Officers have described the man as a sex predator.
News of his sexual assault on the five-year-old girl, shocked and sickened the nation when Newsday reported earlier this week, how the victim’s mother discovered a video file on the man’s cellular phone showing him receiving oral sex from the child. When confronted by the hysterical woman, last Sunday at her home, the man ran out of the house and escaped.
A report was made to the Rio Claro police station and officers contacted officials of the Child Protection Unit (CPU) and the Police Service’s Cyber Crimes Unit. A check of the phone’s sim card and storage showed photographic and video images of the man sexually assaulting the girl, who affectionately referred to him as “uncle.” Images showed him attempting to sexually penetrate her, having her pose in the nude and performing oral sex. When asked to tell officers what “uncle” was doing with her, the child — Newsday was told — became frightened saying he had told her she would get into big trouble if she told anyone.
She later told police that the man would reward her with snacks for sexual services. Both mother and child continue to receive counselling from the Police Service’s Victims Support Unit as wellas officials from the CPU.
