8 thoughts on “Woman 21 charged for raping boy 17”

1. At a time when headlines in the daily papers are screaming about gangs in elementary schools, and teachers in metropolitan countries, female teachers, are being arrested for having sex with their underage students, this case seems like a copy-cat from abroad, from the mindless exposure to too much titillating TV, the products of idle minds.(The devil’s workshop?)
   If this woman is found guilty, she must be sentenced to help grow food for the family she traumatized by her relationship with that teen. She should also have to wear a sandwich board sign, and stand on a corner in her town, the sign must say”HERE I STAND, A MOLESTER OF TEENAGE BOY.” No longer should we be content to think that boys need to get some sexual knowledge early, and older women are better at teaching them than two teens funbling around not knowing what they are doing.This has been the western perspective for too long, and now we see what it is leading to.

   In other words, the moral corruption that has infected our twin island paradise(God Bless It, nonetheless) has now roped in the police service(Arouca Officer charged with rape), the Regiment(Soldier charged with rape), schoolboys who stage sex scenes so that they could video tape them, and circulate for profit, underage girls doing sex simulation activities in nightclubs, the Zen incident of last year, and repeated police raids on hotels like the Santa Maria, where imported light skinned whores are brought in illegally, and traded for profit.

   Now, many years ago in the US, alcoholisn among teens was a problem- rich teens whose parents stockpiled the stuff, and were often away on business conferences and a skiing trip to Switzerland or other grand place.

   One young man, a teenage alcoholic, who should never have touched the stuff, was invited to a “keg party”- in the woods behind a park, after school closed for the summer. He drank too much, became intoxicated and walked off a cliff, breaking both arms. His mother had to both bathe him, and wipe his bottom again. He was more than a foot taller than her at the time. She turned her rage into two actions. She sued the parents of the girl who bought the keg, since she too was a teenager, and had no job, therefore no money; and she helped found MADD Mothers Against Drunk Drivers. She was not just enraged, she put her rage into tangible form. In the state of Delaware, where all this happened, parents began to realize that they are responsible for the actions of their children, and that they show them poor examples of drinking as drug use, while railing about marijuana. Drivers’ licence requirennments for teen drivers were tightened, and the drinking age went up to 21 instead of eighteen.

   Women in Trinidad need to become activists about the issues that affect our children’s lives- teen gang involvement, rampant prostitution, and sexual assualt on children, including boys.

   It is no point demonstrating against high food prices, if the children we so worry about feeding would become gang members, be shot by gang members, would fall victims to the diseases of rampant and multiple sex partners, and be exploited by adults, both male and female.

   We have to design a holistic approach to the colletion of social ills that beset our country. All the cases of sexual predation are only one small part of the moral and spiritual rot that besets us.If we continue t obehave as if everything is OK, our nation may well become a collection of lurid headlines, inviting all and ssundry from abroad to see how a morally bankrupt society, with two much money can behave. We have to stop being social pigmies.

2. We need more details about this. Not because of the stereotypical gender presumtions with regard to rape. But with regard to what methodology was applied by the perpetrator to carry out this crime.

   Rape is committed by force, fear or fraud against the will of the victim. It is veryt difficult for me to conceive of a 21 year old female having the physical capabilty to force herself on a 17 year old male without incurring significant injury or other trauma from the resistence. That eliminated, we are left with the inducements of fear or fraud.

3. Cops ‘wrong’ to charge woman with rape

   The police were wrong to charge Reshmi Dipnarine with the rape of a teenaged boy, because there is no such charge in existence in the laws books of Trinidad and Tobago.

   Instead, Dipnarine should have been slapped with a charge of indecent assault, said a State attorney who plans to review the indictment.

   Last week, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) office asked for the investigation file.

   Yesterday, Southern Division Senior Superintendent Gopiechand Ganga confirmed there was a problem.

   Dipnarine, of Calcutta Settlement, Freeport, was arrested two Fridays ago and charged with two counts of having sexual intercourse with a 17-year-old schoolboy without his consent.

   The alleged rapes occurred at the boy’s home last March 30 and April 4.

   Dipnarine was granted bail of $80,000 on the condition she stayed far from her alleged victim. But last week, Deputy Commissioner of Police Gilbert Reyes was asked to investigate how his officers came to charge Reshmi, the mother of one, with rape.

   Police referred to Section 8 of the Sexual Offences Act, which deals with females having unlawful sex with males.

   It states, “Where a female adult has sexual intercourse with a male person who is not her husband and who is under the age of 16 years, she is guilty of an offence, whether or not the male person consented to the intercourse, and is liable on conviction to imprisonment for five years.

   A female adult is not guilty of an offence under subsection (1) (a) if she honestly believed that the male person was 16 years of age or more; or (b) if the female adult is not more than three years older than the male person and the court is of the opinion that the evidence discloses that as between the female person and the male person, the female person is not wholly or chiefly to blame.

   The teenager in Dipnarine’s case is 17, and therefore she could not be charged using these guidelines.

   The only way a woman could be charged with rape in Trinidad and Tobago is if she was an accessory to the sexual assault with a man who committed the actual crime.

   Dipnarine will reappear in court on July 15.

4. This culprit should be put to jail with other women and be raped. Is she a normal human being. No woman should take something without consent from someone. She need discipline. Send her behind to China prison that will take care of her. They will punished her severly.

5. The reply above (Seemoi Tang) is completely idiotic and pointlessly sensationalist. The poster would have us believe that he/she is so enraged at the crime of rape…and yet he/she would wish it upon someone as if two wrongs in such a case make a right. Foolish.

   I believe that the legislation regarding sexual offences should be altered to acknowledge that a male can be raped. In general. However, in this case, we don’t have knowledge of so many details. For one thing, this was not a 5 year old boy who was molested. He was seventeen. What did she do – tie him down to the bed? Seduce him like a pro (I saw her picture and I have a hard time believe that she could seduce anybody). Still it could be possible. However, more likely than not it was consensual. Seventeen years old, racid with hormones and on the verge of manhood…

   In my view, it was probably consensual, the kid’s mother walked in, was shocked as hell at what she saw, is in denial that her “little boy” could be capable of that and is taking it out on the accused.

   In short, she was wrong to have sex with a minor – true. But I have serious qualms about this case of so called Rape.

6. If some of you people are so nieve to believe this young woman raped this 17yr old male, then I have a bridge to nowhere to sell! Without any facts and or details judgement is passed on this woman? I hope the law in Trinidad and Tobago still operates under the asumption of “Innocent until proben guilty.” There is a whole lot more to this story but i guess that will be saved for the “civil suit” the mother is probably talking to her lawyer about. As for opinions, a 21yr old female with half decent looks can get just about any male to pay her for sex far less give it to her for free; what is ther about this 17yr old boy that would cause her to lose control of her faculties and rape him? I think we all know the answer. Nonetheless, there is more in the morter than just the pestle. All you haters who has convicted the young woman should keep an eye on this story, you will learn a thing or two at the end.

7. hahaha … sounds like almost all are insane in TT. What a pointless discussion over a barrel of f… monkeys 🙂 ]
   It was entertaining however … and a relief to see that at least some of us on the web understand the difference between blustering bulls… and a real social evil to be faced head-on. Why in the world would anyone waste time question a 17 year old boy and a twenty year old girl doing what boys and girls do? In Rio the story would have been laughed out of the police station. Ridiculous family argument. Especially considering the truly nocive criminal activity going on next door. That stuff they drink in TT must be something really powerful … hahaha

8. the boy is probably gay that is why he said he was raped come of it man what normal 17yr old boy would refuse the advances of an older woman something definitely wrong with him
