Corwyn Arthur appeals rape sentence

Corwyn Arthur

Sentenced back in May to 13 and a half years for raping a 16-year-old girl, Corwyn Arthur has lodged a challenge before the Guyana Court of Appeal, advancing that his sentence is “too severe.” 

In the notice of appeal to his conviction and sentence, the thirty-six-year-old Linden resident has expressed the view that in all of the circumstances of his case, the sentence imposed upon him is harsh.

His challenge so far lists no other grounds of appeal and provides no specifics to his lone claim of the sentence being severe.
