Delon Clemenson, about 15 years old at the time he committed a prohibited act on a girl who was only seven years old, admitted to his crime when the matter came up for hearing at the Sexual Offences Court on Monday.
He pleaded guilty to the indictment of raping a child under 16 years old, allegedly committed between August 1 and 31, 2013 in the county of Demerara.
Now 20, Clemenson entered the guilty plea when he appeared before High Court Justice Priya Sewnarine-Beharry. His sentence was, however, deferred to August 13, 2018 after his attorney, Adrian Thompson, requested a probation report be prepared and presented to the court.
Clemson has therefore been remanded to prison until his next court appearance. Attorney Orinthia Schmidt appeared for the prosecution in this case.
