Last night, we told you about 31 year-old Adam Meighan, the resident of Ladyville who police charged for raping a 49 year-old American woman in the village. Tonight, he's at the Belize Central Prison after being taken to Magistrate's Court today.
He was arraigned before Magistrate Albert Hoare on 1 count of rape, and 1 count of theft. Since rape is an indictable offense, no plea was taken, and he was remanded to Prison until February 12th, 2019.
The victim reported to police that she left her home in her pick-up truck when she saw Meighan walking toward her with a rusty machete in his hand. She said that she stopped her vehicle, and got out leaving the driver's side open. She wanted to ensure that the vehicle could get pass a muddy part of the road she was driving on.
According to her, that's when Meighan aggressed her, and shoved her inside the truck, and she hit her head. Meighan allegedly then forced himself her, and raped her. A few minutes later, he allegedly searched around the inside the truck, and then stole her envelope which contained $8,200 in cash. The victim said that after he left, she drove to the KHMH to seek medical attention.
