Upon receiving a probation report for a 15-year-old male sex worker who faced the court on charges of theft and damage to property, a city Magistrate recently opted to release the accused teen on a 12-month probation.
The teen, who resides in Sophia, is accused of stealing a cellular phone and breaking the gutter at the East La Penitence Police Outpost after staging a rooftop protest on April 12, last.
When he first appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court before city Magistrate Ann McLennan he pleaded guilty.
The teen during his explanation had claimed that he took the virtual complainant’s cellular phone as payment for “his services” but during subsequent court hearing, he confessed to the Magistrate that the man was drunk at the time and it was his friend, a taxi driver, who offered the device as payment.
He said too that he was very disgruntled with the way officers of the law would normally treat his reports, so he staged a protest on the roof of the outpost and as he was descending the gutter broke.
Following his lengthy explanation and pleas to both charges, he was set to be sentenced upon receipt of a probation report.
After a few hearings and the probation report, Magistrate McLennan on Wednesday ordered him into probation services of the Ministry of Human Services and Social Security for one year. He was also released into the custody of his aunt.
