Mounting reports of rape causing fear among women, while ‘light’ sentence of child rapist outrages residents

Police are investigating the alleged rape of a Golden Grove woman by a masked man.

Reports are that the intruder entered the woman’s home on Sunday, June 26, and violated her.

A report of the incident was made to the Police and the woman was subsequently examined by a medical doctor.

This is the third such offense reported within a week, all involving men whom the victims do not know. One of the incidents involves a teenager and all are still under active investigation.

A St. George resident tells REAL News she is now terrified after learning that a home was broken into on Friday night, with the woman of the house being raped, reportedly at gunpoint.

“It’s serious out there,” she says, while detailing the precautions she is taking. She also shares her conviction that “the Police are under-reporting the actual truth of what’s happening….”

Meanwhile, last week’s sentencing of a young man for the rape of his five-year-old niece has outraged women and men alike. The offender received a jail term of five years and three months for the crime.

“People are getting 14 years for thiefing jewelry from a politician’s relative,” an angry mother responded, almost screaming. “And you rape a child – a primary-school pickney – and you get five years? Something not wrong with this picture? Plenty-plenty wrong with it!” she declares.
