Repeat offender charged with rape

In other court news, a Belize City youth has been remanded to prison for rape. This morning twenty-one year old Deon Neal was formally arraigned for the indictable offence before Magistrate Sharon Fraser. But when he appeared in court, Prosecutor Jackie Willoughby recognised the man as someone she has dealt with before for an alleged gang rape; but that time, he used the name Deon King. When they delved further into King’s files, it was not only discovered that he is currently out on bail for a carnal knowledge charge, but also owed the court seven hundred and five dollars, which was converted to eight months in prison. King’s latest charge is the result of a report made by a woman, who told police that on November third, 2006, he invited her to his home and had sex with her against her will. King was remanded in custody until his next court date on February first.
