Mascoll to spend at least 30 years at Dodds for raping a teen and a 43-year-old woman in 2015

Maintaining that society needed to be protected from serial rapist Kinchar Lavone Mascoll, Justice Randall Worrell today imposed three lengthy sentences that will keep him behind bars for the next 30 years.

Noting that Mascoll had “destroyed the life” of a then 15-year-old virgin and then two weeks later violated another woman by raping and buggering her, Justice Worrell “threw the book” at him.

He sentenced him to 30 years, 259 more days for buggering the 43-year-old woman on December 17, 2015 and 24 years, 15 days for raping her on the same date.

Mascoll was also sentenced to 24 years and 15 days for raping the teenaged girl on December 1, 2015.

The sentences will run concurrently.

During the over hour-long sentencing today in the No. 2 Supreme Court, Justice Worrell condemned Mascoll for his actions.

“On December 1, you committed one rape. On December 17, the same month, you go and commit another rape. If society clearly hadn’t to be protected from you before it is crying out, not only the seriousness of the offences, but it is crying out that you are someone society has to be protected from because within the space of 16 days you commit the act of rape twice,” Justice Worrell told him.

He also pointed to the fact that Mascoll had 15 previous convictions and had been sentenced to 15 years in prison on another rape charge.

Justice Worrell said he believed a starting point of 45 years for the offence of buggery was adequate and increased it by a further 10 years to 55 years when the aggravating factors were taken into consideration.

He said Mascoll struck the woman with a bottle, dragged her into a bushy area as she begged for her life and proceeded to have vaginal and anal sex with her.

“That is the trauma. How aggravating can that be? Not only is she violated but she begs for her life and is assaulted…And not only were you content to have your way with her in her vagina but you decide per anus,” Justice Worrell said.

He said 55 years translated into 20 075 days and Mascoll would receive the one-third discount for his early guilty plea, reducing the sentence to 13 384 days.

The 2 175 days which he has spent on remand at HMP Dodds were also considered, further reducing the sentence to 11 209 days or 30 years, 259 days.

On the other count of raping the 43-year-old woman, Justice Worrell determined a starting point of 35 years which was also adjusted upward by 10 years when the aggravating factors were considered.

After the deductions for his early guilty plea and time spent on remand were made, it left Mascoll to serve a sentence of 8 775 days or 24 years and 15 days.

In relation to the rape of the 15-year-old schoolgirl, Justice Worrell referenced a victim impact statement in which she said she had been traumatized by the incident and described it as “the worst in her life”.

The victim said she was still psychologically impacted six years after the incident and had been placed on suicide watch as a result.

“All of these, Mr Mascoll, are the legacies of your actions and these make this offence extremely serious and these factors are extremely aggravating…Her life basically from what has been indicated in the victim impact statement, her life basically as she knew it was destroyed at the age of 15, before as the Bajan parlance would say, before she even saw a star pitched.

“This is a young woman who did well enough to go to one of the older secondary schools, found in her school uniform in a disheveled state and that is where her life ended basically on December 1, 2015, as she knew it…She will be troubled for life Mr Mascoll as a result of your actions,” Justice Worrell said while pointing out that he could find no mitigating factors.

He said the starting sentence for that offence was 35 years and was also adjusted upwards by 10 years to 45 years because of the aggravating factors.

Justice Worrell then sentenced him to serve the remaining 24 years, 15 days after the necessary deductions were made.

Justice Worrell said during his term of imprisonment Mascoll would have to enroll in the drug rehabilitation programme, attend the prison’s mental health clinic, undergo counselling to resolve his anti-social behavior and enroll in Arithmetic, English and remedial reading classes.

The matter was prosecuted by Senior Crown Counsel Olivia Davis while Simon Clarke appeared for Mascoll.
