32 year-old Edwin Flores was acquitted of 5 counts unlawful carnal knowledge against when his trial was completed today before Justice Adolph Lucas.

The prosecution, which was represented by Crown Counsel Shenieza Smith, called several witness to testify against Flores in his trial which started last week, but the main witness was the victim herself, who was 11 years-old at the time.

She told the court that Flores had sexual intercourse with her 5 times between 2008 and 2009. She said that on the fifth occasion, one of her relatives arrived and got suspicious that only the two were in the house. The minor said that the relative called her mother, who took her to see a private doctor.

The doctor testified for the prosecution that there were signs that the child was carnally known, but there was no evidence to tell when it actually took place.

When the prosecution closed their case, Flores, who was represented by attorney Hubert Elrington, testified in his defence that he never once had sex with the minor.

He continued that on the date when he was allegedly caught, he went to work at 6:45 a.m., and while there, he realized that he forgot a piece of equipment that he needed. That's when he went home, and while at home, the minor arrived at his house and asked to use his bathroom.

He said that when he went to the attic of his house to retrieve the equipment, the relative arrived and got suspicious when he told her that the minor was in the bathroom, and that's when the mother was called.
