Schoolgirl, 13, and man, 27, found in house

The student who was clad in her school uniform told police she voluntary went with the man and he did not force her to do anything. However, because she is a minor according to law, the man will face a number of charges including abduction and unlawful sex with a minor.

It was reported that at about 2.50 pm on Wednesday officers of the Rio Claro police station received an anonymous tip-off that a girl in school uniform and a man were entering an abandoned house in the Rio Claro district.

Officers responded and allegedly found the schoolgirl and the man having sexual intercourse on the floor inside the abandoned house. The two were taken into custody and officers of the Child Protection Unit (CPU) were summoned. The child’s parents were called in and expressed shock and horror when told what had happened.

The child was later taken to a health centre where she was medically examined as part of the investigations.

Charges are expected to be laid against the Mayaro man. The teen will receive counselling.
