Senior citizen Isiah Hutson, 68, has been sentenced to life in prison for raping a three-year-old.
His sentence was handed down yesterday morning by High Court Judge Sandil Kissoon who lamented the tender age of the child, stating that Hutson deserved nothing but the maximum penalty.
Justice Kissoon has ordered that the convict undergo counselling for sex offenders, but underscored that it also be specifically tailored for paedophiles.
Underscoring the prevalence of rape and sexual offences especially against minors, Justice Kissoon said that it was as equally grave as the most serious offences of murder and treason.
