Court upholds seven-year sentence against septuagenarian for sexual assault of child

Kenrick Morrison

Finding a 2015 verdict of the jury to have been supported by evidence, the Guyana Court of Appeal yesterday affirmed the conviction of septuagenarian Kenrick Morrison, for sexually assaulting a child back in 2013.

Having so found, the appellant who had been granted bail in 2017 pending his appeal was made to immediately surrender to police at the Court of Appeal where he attended the hearing physically, to complete his seven-year sentence.

He has just about 5 years remaining to now complete behind bars.
