Relatives of the 12-year-old girl who is pregnant, allegedly with her stepfather’s child, believe that the girl’s mother has been “covering up” for the man for years out of fear.
Earlier this week, the girl was placed in the care of the Child Care & Protection Agency (CC&PA) after it was learnt that she was pregnant.
When contacted, Crime Chief Leslie James confirmed that two persons, including the stepfather, had been taken into police custody. However, he explained that persons cannot be kept indefinitely in custody and the man was subsequently released following questioning.
Now, a relative has come forward stating that the girl had made a rape allegation against her stepfather in 2011, when she was 9 years old.
According to the relative, the girl would usually venture to the city during the August vacation, along with other relatives, to visit her mother and return before school recommenced.
In 2011, the girl was sent to Georgetown without adult supervision and returned home weeks later,
