Minors Charged for Sexual Assault of 15 year old girl…

Tonight, two-fifteen year old friends are on remand at the Wagner’s Youth Facility located on the compound of the Belize Central Prison until their next appearance in court on September twenty-ninth. Both were charged for allegedly having sex with a thirteen year old girl last Friday in Belize City. This afternoon, the duo was escorted to the Magistrate’s Court and processed for sexual assault against the thirteen year old. She reported to police that she consented to having sex with one of them, who she claimed is her boyfriend. But the other youth was introduced to her as her boyfriend’s brother and he later forced himself on her.  But in court, it was disclosed that the duo were friends and not siblings. According to the minor, last Friday she went to a Chinese Shop located at the corner of Kraal Road and Caesar Ridge Road where her purported boyfriend introduced her to another youth whom he claimed to be his brother. But siblings or not, the girl is thirteen years old and cannot have consensual sex.
