A man who raped a 16-year-old girl at her sister’s home and indecently assaulted an 11-year-old child while she was on a bus to school was sentenced to ten years in jail when he appeared in the No. 5 Supreme Court yesterday.

Thremaine Dwayne Fabian Taitt, 37, formerly of Clifton Hill, St John, and of Yearwood Road, Black Rock, St Michael, was also ordered to undergo psychiatric and psychological counselling while in prison.

His pre-sentencing report revealed he was sexually abused while a ward of a children’s home and now had a proclivity for deviant sexual behaviours, in addition to suffering from a broad spectrum of mental disorders.
