There is a very disturbing case of rape to report tonight - it involves an 11 year old primary girl who is alleging that she was gang raped by four men on the southside of Belize City.
She told police she doesn't know all their names - but one suspect was charged today. He is 22 year old Wilfred Ramirez of Iguana Street - and she says it happened at his house late last week. He was charged with a single count of unlawful sexual intercourse with a female child under the age of 14.
Ramirez who was unrepresented asked to speak in court and told the Chief magistrate, Anne Marie Smith that he is being wrongfully accused. He said he had asked for an identification parade but got none. He also said he has been detained for four days until he was charged today. He claims he even asked for a DNA test but that too was denied.
No plea was taken and due to the nature of the offense, Ramirez was remanded to Prison until January 29, 2015.
The investigation is ongoing as police are seeking others not yet known by their real names but only by nicknames provided by the victim.
Earlier this year, Ramirez was busted with a sawed off firearm at the funeral of a gang affiliated person.
