Senior gets 19 years for raping teen

George Robin

Sixty-six-year-old George Robin was yesterday sentenced to 19 years behind bars for the rape of a 16-year-old girl.

Justice Brassington Reynolds, who presided over Robin’s trial, told the senior that from all indications, it seemed his libido had been increasing with age, and he therefore needed to be sent to a structured environment where he could reflect on his actions.

According to a probation report presented ahead of the sentencing, while community members described Robin, a father of 12, as a dedicated Christian, he was also known for making inappropriate sexual advances towards young girls—particularly those of school age.

Probation and Social Services Officer Mahesha Granville, by whom the report was read, said that in her interview with several residents of the man’s neighbourhood, it was related to her that Robin would often make perverted remarks towards the young girls.
