The actions of Lashawn Shaquon Hinds three years ago in raping a tourist and the aggravated burglary of the couple’s accommodation has resulted in tremendous damage to that family.
For that, the 20-year-old Lower Carlton, St James man was given 16 years behind bars for the burglary and 13 for the rape, both of which occurred on July 4, 2021.
On Wednesday, Justice Pamela Beckles severely reprimanded the convicted man in Supreme Court No. 5.
