Man In Court After Cops Find Girl, 14, Hidden In His Apartment

By Newsroom

A 23-year-old Jamaican national will appear virtually before an Arima Magistrate today charged with one count of sexual penetration of 14 year old girl.

Officers of the Child Protection Unit visited the man’s apartment in El Dorado over the weekend, after receiving a report from a concerned neighbor. Upon searching the apartment, they found the child hiding in a cupboard.

When officers arrived at the man’s El Dorado apartment, he initally denied having the girl at his home, prompting officers to conduct a search of the space. 

CPU detectives later discovered that the man began talking to the teenager via social media before she met with him at his apartment.

The girl allegedly confided in CPU detectives that the suspect sexually assaulted her while she was at the apartment.
