One of the Barama workers on trial for the 2007 rape and sodomy of a 17-year-old girl was yesterday found guilty of buggery and sentenced to 25 years in jail.
Two other men were charged in the matter which occurred at the company’s Land of Canaan plywood plant, and one was jailed for four years for indecent assault while the third accused was found not guilty.
Paul Abrams, Claude Craig and Holston Melville called ‘Pumpkin,’ were accused of taking turns raping and sodomizing the girl who was 17-years-old at the time. The incident was said to have taken place on December 5, 2007.
