posted (November 10, 2014)
A man accused of breaking into an 18 year old female's home and fondling her will spend a year and a half in jail for it.

Fifty-one year old Michael Davis Buylding, a tour guide of Crooked Tree Village, allegedly got into the house in Crooked Tree village around 5:30 a.m. on November 13, 2012. The female testified that she was sleeping and she was covered with a sheet from head to toe when she was awakened by the feel of someone caressing her. She thought at first that it was her mother. But when the person's hand moved to her private parts she lifted the sheet and saw Buylding standing in front of her bed. She said he ran when he saw her looking at him . Buylding gave a statement from the dock in which he denied everything and claimed that the report against him was falsified.

But Chief Magistrate, Anne Marie Smith didn't buy it and she sentenced Buylding to 18 months today after she found him guilty of aggravated assault of an indecent nature.

Today Buylding was also committed to stand trial in the January, 2015 session of the Supreme Court for a charge of carnal knowledge.
