A 42-year-man was denied bail today when he appeared virtually before a Sangre Grande Magistrate charged with sexually assaulting his three-year-old stepdaughter.
The accused was remanded into custody and the matter adjourned to November 25th, 2021.
The suspect was charged on November 3rd by WPC Williams-James of the Eastern Division Child Protection Unit following a police report in which a woman reported to police that her grandson informed her that the girl’s stepfather allegedly made her perform oral sex on him.
Police were told that the incident, which is believed to have occurred at a date unknown during the period May 31st, 2019, and July 1st, 2019, was witnessed by the girl’s brother.
Investigations, spearheaded by Acting Woman Superintendent of Police, Claire Guy-Alleyne, with direct supervision by Sergeant Baptiste of the CPU, culminated in the arrest of the suspect who was later charged with one count of sexual penetration of a child and abuse of trust and familial relationship.
