26 year-old Kareem Hamilton will spend 4 years in prison because he pleaded guilty to sodomizing a 15 year-old, mentally challenged boy.
A jury was selected to start hearing his trial before Justice Troadio Gonzalez, but before any testimony was heard, Hamilton changed his plea to guilty. Before handing him the sentence, Justice Gonzalez scolded him that he didn't show any signs that he was sorry for what he did. With that, Justice Gonzalez sentenced him to 4 years in prison.
On April 28, 2011, the 15 year-old, who was a student at a mental institution, met Hamilton at his home on Morter's Lane. Hamilton had told him that he had something to give him, but when the young man got there, Hamilton sodomized him.
Two days after the incident, the boy's stepmother that he was walking strangely. She questioned him, and, he started to complain that he was experiencing pain. The stepmother then took him to a doctor who certified that the boy had been sodomized.
Almost 2 months later, an identification parade was conducted at the Queen Street Police Station where the boy positively identified Hamilton as the man who had sodomized him.
