15 year old reports rape on Placencia beach

A teenaged girl has reported being raped in Placencia. The fifteen year old victim told police that around eight-thirty on Saturday night, she was on the beach when a man of East Indian descent attacked her, pulled her into the bush, and had sex with her against her will. A medical check has since confirmed signs of forced sexual contact as well as bruises to the girl’s face and body. In a strange twist to the story, following the victim’s report, her mother went to the police and asked that no court action be taken against the offender. Police have noted the request, but say they will proceed with their investigation and will forward a file to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions.
