There has been an increase in reports of rape in Region One (Barima-Waini) and this crime is often only reported when it results in pregnancy, according to Police Commander of Region One, Super-intendent Boodnarine Persaud.
Persaud made the disclosure on Tuesday night during his appearance on the Guyana Police Force’s weekly Police and You programme.
“… I am of the opinion… most of these rapes are reported when pregnancy occurs,” Persaud said.
