Construction worker charged with carnal knowledge

A Burrell Boom construction worker is behind bars tonight on charges of Unlawful Carnal Knowledge and Grievous Harm. Thirty-four year old Secundino Cho was accused of having sex with a thirteen year old girl and when he appeared before Chief Magistrate Margaret McKenzie today, no plea was taken from him and he was remanded until May twentieth. If a preliminary inquiry determines that there is enough evidence against Cho, the case will be tried in the Supreme Court. The minor reported to the Family Violence Unit that Cho sexually assaulted her in September of 2008. A doctor’s examination confirmed that she was carnally known and classified her injuries as grievous harm.
