Finding no merit in his appeal, the Guyana Court of Appeal yesterday affirmed the conviction and 65-year sentence imposed on Esan Germain, who a jury in 2017 had found guilty of sexually abusing a 4-year-old girl on three occasions—with the final assault occurring when she was seven years old.
Germain is also currently serving a 30-year sentence, following his conviction earlier this year for raping a 15-year-old girl three times.
A jury in a majority verdict of 11 to 1 had back in February found the former researcher, guilty as charged of sexually penetrating the teen between January 1st and July 24th of 2014.
