NASSAU – A 22-year-old man who fathered a child with his 12-year-old “grilfriend” will be sentenced in January next year after he pleaded guilty to multiple counts of unlawful sexual intercourse.

Jakyle Barry admitted guilt without a formal plea agreement when he appeared before Justice Renae McKay with his lawyer, Glendon Rolle requesting a social inquiry report to assist the judge in arriving at an appropriate sentence.

The Assistant Director of Public Prosecutions, Basil Cumberbatch, said that while on a Family Island, Barry began having a sexual relationship with the 12-year-old schoolgirl, who became pregnant as a result. They have a two-year-old daughter.

Barry will be sentenced on January 20, next year. (CMC)
