A police constable, who was jailed yesterday for raping a 16-year-old girl a decade ago, has been chastised for betraying a position of trust.
Constable Jason Andre Callender, 37, of 6th Avenue, Durants Village, St James, was sentenced to 15 years at HMP Dodds by Justice Christopher Birch.
Callender was back in the No. 5A Supreme Court after being convicted, at an earlier Session of the Continuous Sittings, of having unlawful sexual intercourse with a then 16-year-old girl between June 1 and October 7, 2010, and committing an act of serious indecency against her between October 6 and 7, 2010.
“The aggravating factors are very disturbing, given the circumstances in which the complainant found herself at the literal mercy of the convicted man,” the judge said. (RA)
