After she was solicited for casual sex by an overseas-based Guyanese, who later refused to pay her for services rendered, an unemployed mother of two faced Magistrate Suanna Lovell on a simple larceny charge.
Renee Williams, 24, of Wismar, Linden, told the court yesterday that she had no other alternative than to steal the man’s belongings because she needed the cash to provide for her two children.
The charge before the court is that on March 16, 2012 at Gordon Street, Kitty , Williams stole from Jeffrey Moore, US$400, a gold chain valued $350,000, a Blackberry cellular phone and other articles. Williams claimed that her current circumstances resulted in her actions.
“I meet this man pun a Linden bus and he tell how he want sleep me, that he gon give me US$10 but I tell he ‘no’, so he say he gon pay me.
