A Tacarigua woman charged with rape was yesterday refused bail and remanded in custody at the St Ann’s Hospital for observation by an Arima Magistrate.

She was unrepresented when the indictable charge was read to her by Senior Magistrate Debra Quintyne.

It is alleged that the 24-year-old woman, who is the neighbour of a 15-year-old schoolboy, invited him over to her home on August 7 to watch a DVD movie.

While the schoolboy was watching the movie the accused allegedly stripped naked, jumped on the schoolboy and forcibly had sex with him.

The matter was reported to the Arouca Poilice and an investigation was initiated and the schoolboy was medically examined.

Detective Constable Earl Weekes arrested and charged the woman with raping the schoolboy.

The female rape accused told the Arima Court that she was schizophrenic.

Prosecutor Acting Sgt Niam Gyan’s objection to bail was agreed to by Magistrate Quintyne and she instructed the accused to apply to a judge in chambers for bail.

The magistrate then ordered the accused to reappear before the Arima Magistrates’ Court on August 27.
