Youth jailed for rape of cousin

A young man who raped his seven-year-old cousin when he himself was 14 years old was yesterday sentenced to spend the next two years behind bars and ordered to undergo counselling while in prison and even after his release.

The sentence was imposed by Justice Jo-Ann Barlow.

In accordance with the law, because the convict was charged as a minor, his identity cannot be published though he is now an adult.
