Sentencing Set for December for Man Who Raped Nine-Year-Old Boy

NASSAU, BAHAMAS – A 58-year-old man who lured a nine-year-old boy into his home and raped him is awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty.

Dwight Belle was arrested on September 7, 2024 soon after the assault and has remained in custody since his arrest.

The little boy was in the Market Street picking guineps with his siblings when Belle lured him into his home and sexually assaulted him.

When the boy’s siblings realized he was missing they told their mother, who started searching the area.

During the search, she saw her son coming from Belle’s yard.

Belle told the woman to get off of his property when she confronted him.

When she asked her son what happened, he told her he had been molested.

Belle returns to court in December for sentencing before Justice Jeanine Weech-Gomez.
