Boatman found guilty of raping woman in 2009

Vickram Persaud

Vickram Persaud now awaits sentence after a jury yesterday afternoon found him guilty of raping a young woman back in 2009.

Following hours of deliberations, the 12-member panel returned with its unanimous verdict, convicting Persaud of the sexual offence which stated that on June 7th, 2009 he had carnal knowledge of the woman.

Justice Brassington Reynolds has, however, deferred sentencing to facilitate the preparation of a probation report and victim impact statement.
