When 49-year-old Compton Sealey appeared before Georgetown Magistrate Judy Latchman on Thursday, he was faced with the charge of having inflicted grievous bodily harm on his 15-year-old son.
The resident of Guyhoc Park in Georgetown told the court that it was an accident that would never happen again, and that he was sorry for his actions.
It was revealed to the court that on the day in question, the elder Sealey had asked his son to make a cup of tea for his younger sibling, but this son went on to take a phone call outside of the home instead of making the tea.
The elder Sealey allegedly became angry at this, and threw a bottle of boiling water on the 15-year-old’s legs. The matter was reported, and the elder Sealey was arrested and charged.
The virtual complainant and his mother (defendant’s estranged wife) appeared before the court to inform that they no longer wanted to continue the matter against the elder Sealey
Accordingly, the matter was dismissed.
