Repeat criminal to know his fate October 9

The screams of a woman being raped in her own house were futile as her mother who was in another room, is hearing-impaired.

Alonzo Olivere Junior Blackman, the man who admitted he committed the criminal act will be sentenced by Justice Carlisle Greaves for burglary and rape on October 9.

In the No. 3 Supreme Court, a pre-sentencing report was ordered for the 23-year-old Bosobelle, St Peter man, who has previous convictions for burglary.

The facts in the case were outlined in August this year by prosecutor, Acting Senior Crown Counsel Rudolph Burnett.

They indicated that around 3 a.m. on May 22, 2019, the complainant heard the dogs barking and curiously set out to see what was making them respond in this manner. She got up from her bedroom and walked to the bathroom. Looking through the bathroom window she noticed that light was coming from outside and shining through the window in the garage. This was unusual and she soon realized that the mosquito screen was missing.

She returned to the corridor of her house and turned on the kitchen lights. As she flicked the lights she saw the figure of a man crouching between a couch and a table.

Blackman ran towards her, held her around the neck and began to choke her.

The two scuffled and Blackman pushed the woman into the second bedroom.

He threw her to the ground and got on top of her. He muffled her screams for help with a pillow and ripped off her panties saying “I want some”.

Blackman took off his pants, told the woman to bend over on the bed and had sex with her. After some time he stopped and sat next to the woman on the bed and told her: “I had like you from every since.”

In an attempt to convince Blackman to cease, the woman told him that she was pregnant but he proceeded to rape her again.

When he finished he pulled up his pants and told the woman if she said anything to anyone, he would kill her. He then left the house. The matter was then reported to police.

The court heard that the victim’s mother was in the house at the time but she is hearing-impaired.
