Child molester goes into hiding before life imprisonment sentence

Tense scenes played out at the High Court on Tuesday when a man who was implicated for sexually penetrating a young female relative, fled both his verdict and life imprisonment sentence.
The absconding offender is 52-year-old Deosaran Narine, who was unanimously found guilty by the 12-member jury for the May 2014 offence. He was 48 at the time he committed the illegal acts while the girl was only five years old.
When the verdict was returned, Sexual Offences Court Judge Priya Sewnarine-Beharry inquired of attorney Maxwell McKay on the whereabouts of his client. However, McKay responded that he did not know where Narine was at that time. Nevertheless, the Judge sentenced the offender to life imprisonment with the possibility of being released on parole after serving 25 years.
Justice Sewnarine-Beharry’s sentence considered the psychological effects that activity had on the child. According to the case’s particulars, Narine kissed the child on her back before he inserted his index finger in her vagina. The girl through her impact statement said that she feels sad and hurt and even blamed herself for what happened to her.
The State’s case was prosecuted by Attorneys Orinthia Schmidt and Lisa Cave.
