"Monday sometime after 4:30 PM, 23 year old Honduran female accompanied by her 4 year old niece visited the Belmopan police station where the 4 year old reported that on a date she cannot remember, whilst at a family home, she had some uncomfortable contact with a family member.

"Is this family member a minor or an adult?"
ACP Joseph Myvett
"It's an adult."
Reporter
"Was this child left in the care of the aunt?"
ACP Joseph Myvett
"Yes."
Reporter
"How would you class this particular incident? Because obviously if other sectors of the media has reported it as rape and it is not rape and you are saying that in your brief that, it was an uncomfortable situation for the child."
ACP Joseph Myvett
"Meaning that I do not want to go into the specifics of the case because it involves a 4 year old. I will not go into the specifics of the case."
Belmopan police are classifying this case as rape and have charged the child’s stepfather, a 44-year-old, Guatemalan National for the crime of Rape of a Child.
