A man accused of committing a very sick act is tonight on remand pending a psychiatric evaluation.
On January 5th, a 32 years old woman residing in Georgeville Village came home to find her 3-year-old daughter in 20-year-old Kareem Gongora's lap. Gongora, who is a distant relative, had his pants down and had the child in a sexual position. The mother immediately reported the case and a doctor confirmed that the child had been molested, but there was no penetration. With that, Gongora could only be charged with aggravated assault. When he appeared in court today, the magistrate noted that he appeared of unsound mind and ordered him to be sent to Belmopan for a mental competence test. If he is mentally sound, he will then be sent to jail on remand until February 10, and if unsound, he will be sent straight to Rockview Mental Hospital.
