On Monday, Ray Thomas, a 46-year-old man, was found guilty of engaging in sexual activity with a child. He was sentenced to 18 years in prison for the offence. The sentence was handed down by Justice Gregory at the Georgetown High Court.
Thomas was accused of using his finger to penetrate his victim, who was eight years old at the time. The incident is said to have occurred on February 2, 2012. Thomas’s trial was held in camera.
