Wilhelm Leslie charged for years of carnally knowing a girl

There are two heinous crimes against children to report tonight. In the first case, a Ladyville man who had been in police custody since Friday night was finally charged with two counts of carnal knowledge. And because of the sensitivity of the case and to protect the minor, her name will not be disclosed. But it is an alarming case, because the man, Wilhelm Leslie Junior was allegedly found in bed at about midnight on Friday with the child who is now thirteen. The allegation, however, is that he had been abusing the child since she was nine years old. Forty-three year old Leslie told the court this morning on arraignment “I have been taking care of that child from she was little” .  The child alleges that Leslie had been having sexual intercourse with her for four years, going back to April 2006. She gave two dates in particular to police – the first time it allegedly happened and last Friday when police surprised him in bed with the girl.  When asked in court why he should be spared going to jail on remand, Leslie said that he is the father of five children and that the mother of three of them is abroad, which means there would be no one to take care of them.  But Senior Magistrate Frazer was not convinced and remanded him to the Hattieville Prison until August seventh.  The child told the court that she frequently visited Leslie’s home and business and that their sexual encounters would be at least three times a week when Leslie’s common-law-wife was in the bathroom.  She also said that he would give her twenty dollars per week.  A doctor who examined the girl certified that she is carnally known and classified the injuries as Grievous Harm. The girl’s mother was initially not inclined to press charges, but this morning Leslie was escorted to court.

    This is ridiculous how can a grown man with kids of his own take advantage of this child. She is also a willing participant in this or was forced by her mother to do it for the little money that he is giving her either way he should be locked up and the keys thrown away he is a disgrace to mankind.

    I very much blame this grown up man, he have kids and I wonder if he have a daughter that age!! Can he imagine a man his age having sex with his daughter!!! Kill this SOB.

    Now where the heck was the mother, please don’t tell me she did’nt know what was happening, to her child, CHARGE THE MOTHER!!! she need to be taken to court cause she is as guilty as the child abuser.

    CALLING ON HUMAN RIGHTS TO SPEAK UP FOR THIS CHILD!!!!!

  3. Proud Belizean says:

    Hope inmates watch this news and await him with open arms…

  4. Common Sense says:

    Same as with the next story of the young boy being abused. Hang him high in front of the court house, arrest and punish the mother of the young girl (if found, beyond reasonable doubt, that she willingly or encouraged the prostitution of her daughter).

  5. Earl Grey says:

    The GIRLS MOTHER…… Something is not right with her. She did not want to press charges??????

    Cut it off, no court.

    Where is the picture of this fool??? Kudos to the girl for having enough courage to speak. Most people hold it inside… If the mother won’t press charges the police should and charge her also for selling her child to this creature… SHOW THE PICTURE OF THIS FOOL.. if he did it to this girl more than likely he did it to someone else…

    Charger the mother the common law wife and the molester, he because he did it, the mother because she was gaining $20.00 a week from it and the common law wife because she was ” in the bathroom “………………. just adding my 2 cents

    Bun fire pan the child molesta.

  10. Elgin Martinez says:

    This kid’s parents should definately be held responsible.Take into consideration the time that this incident transpired.

  11. Sandy says:

    Hey, I believe the mother knew all along what was taking place. She was involved. Maybe she got some of that same money her daughter got. How could she not know her child wasn’t in her home during the time when she was over at that sick old man? her mom should be punished too. He had that guts to even say he has children, no one wants to be around him right now knowing what he did to that young girl. What is Belize coming to?

  12. Roamin says:

    HIS PICTURE on channel 7’s website

  13. David says:

    Check Him out on channel seven news. (channel Seven Belize. Com) ;-(

    Dont worry Im sure the guys in jail is waiting on Him, rite about now 🙂

    Maybe that $20.00 per week was they only little income. Thats why the mother never wanted to press charges. She’s such a looser ;-(

  14. BZNinCALI says:

    Thanks Roamin. No one was looking out for this child. Not the mother or the worthless woman this cheap pervert was living with. How old was “his wife” when he reeled her in?

    If he was done in the time it took for his common law wife to use the bathroom, it makes perfect sense why no woman stayed with him.

    Her mother needs to be prosecuted for pandering, pimping, Child abuse, neglect & every other statute she violated. We have to teach our daughters to know when they are being violated & to speak up b4 they are screwed over. Not putting a 9yr old in a compromising positions is a good start.

    Maybe the men in Hattieville will give him the attention he gave this child & the ride the mothers of his children deserved.

  15. Irieas says:

    What angers me as well, is WHY has he NOT been charged for Rape??? The child cannot legally consent, and if he has …………………., rape charges CAN and SHOULD be laid. Rape carries a minimum of 10 – and a max of life. Carnal Knowlege…BAH. Do your job, Vidal, and do NOT screw this one up.

  16. Charlotte Yearwood Martin says:

    The mother of this child must have been aware of this poor child’s plight. This is definitely a case where placing this little girl in a safe environment would be best for her. Any parent would question why a man would give their child $20 a week. This also demonstrates that all the adults around her have betrayed this child. The common law wife, the mother and the monster should all face charges of the crime. In addition, by sending him to jail his own children at home might have been given a reprieve from abuse.

    There seem to be an upsurge in reported cases of sexual abuse of children. I am encouraged that the children feel empowered to report the infringement of their human rights, and that they have been give justice in the courts. I hope also that they would have access to appropriate healthcare including some counselling to help them get over their ordeal.

    where is the photo of the animal ….?

    still not visible not even in my time zone.
    shame, shame.

    It is time for this to stop. The mother should definitely go to jail as she was well aware of what her child was doing and pushed her to it. How can her minor child sleep out if not with her blessing? She pimped out her daughter and should be charged with that crime. This is nothing new. It is one case out of hundreds. BOth the mother and the guy’s wife–jail all of them with the worse criminals in Hattieville so that they can get the sense. All three of them are the scums of the earth!
    I have sympathy only for the child who didn’t know any better and will have to live with the evil scars of sexual abuse.

  19. Cal says:

    Parent’s should discipline their children. And yes this old man should know better and should be charged!!!! Authorities, please give him life time in prison…!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
