Eight-Year Sentence Upheld For Child Rapist

NASSAU, BAHAMAS – A convicted child rapist will remain behind bars after the Court of Appeal upheld his conviction and eight-year sentence.

Chervin Brown was convicted of unlawful sexual intercourse with a 13-year-old girl, whom he met on Facebook.

The Court of Appeal found that Brown’s challenge to his conviction had no prospects of success.

Regarding his sentence, the court said that the penalty was not unduly harsh.
