A Region One (Barima-Waini) security guard has been taken into Police custody for the rape of a 14-year-old girl.
Reports are that the incident occurred at Matthew’s Ridge, North West District, sometime between January 1 and 31 of this year.
Reports are that the teen and the suspect are known to each other, and the suspect reportedly took the 14-year-old to his home and engaged in sexual intercourse with her.

They were both cautioned and taken to Matthew’s Ridge Police Station as the investigation continues.
Just days ago, the Guyana Police Force (GPF) said they were investigating an alleged sexual activity with a child by a family member, which occurred between February 28 and March 1, 2021, in Region One (Barima-Waini).
The matter was unearthed by the Child Care and Protection Agency and reported to the Police on February 24, 2021. The perpetrator, who is also accused of similar offences by others, has fled the area.
In addition, a few weeks ago a close relative of a 10-year-old girl was arrested after he allegedly raped her while she was left in his care. The child is also from the NWD, and was left unconscious after the incident.
After the man committed the act, he reportedly threatened to kill the child if she reported the matter to anyone.
Nevertheless, the violated child confided in her grandmother, who immediately made a report with the authorities. The victim was later escorted to the hospital, where she was examined and a medical certificate was obtained.
Meanwhile, swift actions by the Police led to the arrest of the man, who remains in custody
