There is no statute of limitations on carnal knowledge and that was proven
today in Belize City Magistrate’s Court. Court reports are that the accused
a thirty eight year old stepfather and fisherman first had sex with his stepdaughter,
a minor in July of 2005. We can’t give you his name or show his picture
because it may lead to the identity of the victim.
But here’s what happened: at that time she was only nine years old. Then
five years later he again had sex with the girl who is now fourteen years old.
The second incident occurred on January ninth, 2010. Yesterday in the company
of her mother the teenaged girl told police that she was at her stepfather’s
house when it happened.
Today when the stepfather appeared before Chief Magistrate Margaret McKenzie
she told the accused that the court could not take a plea as the offences are
indictable. He was also explained that the court cannot also offer him bail
because of the nature of the offences. The stepfather who has been charged with
carnal knowledge and unlawful carnal knowledge was then remanded to Belize Central
Prison until April eight, 2010.
