A Farmer residing in St. Elizabeth stands accused of allegedly abusing a minor and is facing buggery charges, is scheduled for another court appearance on September 11. The defendant was presented before the court recently and was subsequently held in custody. Meanwhile, the commanding officer in the parish is urging parents to remain highly vigilant due to the rise in rape cases during the summer months. Incidents of rape and sexual abuse in rural areas have unfortunately extended to St. Elizabeth, where the commanding officer reports more than a dozen cases reported this year. One of these cases involves the arrest and charging of a 26-year-old farmer for buggery on July 22. The reported act was committed against his 4-year-old relative. The officer also highlights another distressing incident in which a 14-year-old was a victim of rape and is now part of an ongoing court case.

In emphasizing his strong stance against these heinous acts, he reiterates the necessity for parents to exercise utmost vigilance over their children, particularly during the summer season.
