posted (February 14, 2014)
A 44 year-old father has been convicted in the Supreme Court before Justice Troadio Gonzalez of having sexual intercourse with daughter who was 10 years old at the time.

To protect the child's identity, we can't give you names or show you his face, but, he had been standing trial where girl testified that he abused her in 2009.

He was initially charged with 3 sexual offences, but one of them was withdrawn. The child said that on 2 separate occasions, he sexually abused her.

In his defence, he declared his innocence saying that the entire case against him was a fabrication. The jury didn't accept his version of events, and late yesterday evening, they found him guilty after a little more than 3 hours of deliberation.
