How many carnal knowledge cases this week?
Adam Choco
This week alone, we reported on four suspected cases of carnal knowledge. One alleged perpetrator was taken to court this morning and is on remand tonight. Twenty-three year old Adam Choco, who is a salesman from the Northern Highway, was charged for sexually abusing a fifteen year old girl this past Monday. Choco was unrepresented in court and immediately after arraignment he was taken to the Belize Central Prison. There are no provisions for bail for carnal knowledge and Choco is due back in court until December fifteenth.
What foolish animals so many men have become.
To all the victims, thank you for your courage. The sexual abuse of children is a terribly under reported crime in Belize. Many Belizeans have been affected by this issue and until those victims have the strength and support to let their voices be heard it will continue. The only way to rid our society of these crimes is to bring them to light. I just pray that there are appropriate mechanisms in place to aid in the healing process of these victims.
