posted (November 2, 2012)
Tonight, 18 year-old Tyrick Thompson, a resident of Double Head Cabbage, and 19 year-old Morgan Baptist, a resident of Burrell Boom, are at prison tonight, after police said that they raped a 14 year-old girl from Trial Farm in Orange Walk.

According to police, the 14 year-old female reported that at around 1 p.m. on last week Friday, she accompanied 4 students to a house on Cotton Street in Trial Farm, where they met 4 young men.

While she was socializing with these people, she drank several Smirnoff Ice drinks and lost consciousness. When she woke up, she found one of the young men on top of her having intercourse with her against her will.

She said that she shoved this man off of her, but then another man got on top and had his way with her despite her struggle to stop him.

She said that when both men finished and left, she called a friend who picked her up, and took her home. As a result of this report, police arrested and charged Thompson and Baptist with rape and unlawful carnal knowledge.

They were arraigned today in the Orange Walk Magistrate's Court, and they were remanded to prison until their next court date, which is set for November 30.
