Officers attached to the Anna Regina Child Protection Agency and the Welfare Department, are probing another rape, this time involving a pastor and his teenage granddaughter. The matter came to light through a confidante of the minor.
Officers at the Anna Regina Police station have since requested advice from the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), before instituting charges against the alleged accused.
The pastor has since been released on $25.000 station bail. He was previously arrested and was held, along with the father of the 14-year-old at the Anna Regina police station.
Reports from the remote Community, located some seven miles from the township of Anna Regina, are indicating that the pastor, who is in his late fifties, raped his grand-daughter at his home.
It was noted that the 14-year-old and her brother were left in the care of her grandparents, since they were toddlers.
The report added that the child related the incident to an adult who lodged the report to the Child Care and Protection Agency at Anna Regina, and officials have since interviewed the girl and also accompanied her to undertake a medical report.
Additional reports have indicated that the teen was said to be using an oral medication in an effort to terminate a pregnancy. The teenager and her brother’s mother died last year.
Almost a month ago, another grandfather, this time at West Bury, Essequibo, was charged for the rape of his eight-year-old granddaughter.
Magistrate Sunil Scarce refused bail.
The 14-year-old remains in the care of the Child Care and Protection Agency.
