NASSAU, BAHAMAS – A man will serve 12 years in prison for the rape of a child, which resulted in pregnancy.
23-year-old Jakyle Barry learned his fate when he appeared before Justice Renae McKay for sentencing.
The case did not go to trial as Barry pleaded guilty to 11 counts of unlawful sexual intercourse in November 2025.
Barry, then 19, began an illegal sexual relationship with a 12-year-old girl on a family island in August 2021 after they were reportedly introduced by cousins. The relationship continued until April 2022 when the girl became pregnant at 13.
Although the minor willingly had sex with Barry, she could not legally consent because she was under 16.
The son that he fathered with the minor is now three years old.
